Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Motorized recliner incident
The deletion argument here is blatant .  Claims that topics have to have lasting historical significance are hand-waving prejudice because many/most topics are just not that important.  Clicking random article a few times we have Travis Lee (wrestler), Oxnard Elementary School District, Izzy Lang.  It's only after getting through mundane stuff like that that we come to a timeless topic like structural rigidity and such topics are a fraction of our content.  So, to pick on the recliner incident just because it seems wacky is contrary to |core policy.  The incident has had international coverage and has made it into at least http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=VX-xBv_fcrQC one book.  Notability does not expire and so this topic passes the |notability guideline
