Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/East River Monster
Wikipedia is not a #NEWS|newspaper. All the coverage is in roughly a 5 day window, indicating that the topic has no lasting notability or |persistence ("''Notable events usually receive coverage beyond a relatively short news cycle''"). The Event has had no |effect ("''An event that is a precedent or catalyst for something else of lasting significance is likely to be notable. ''")since it featured in newspapers at the end of July. The |depth of coverage is insufficient, with most repeating the same claims; there is no source that goes particular in depth, rather they just repeat the same quotes from the interested parties, the telegraph for example, is just a rehash of the other websites. The |diversity of coverage  isn't great either, with most just repeating the material of each other. It fails every measure of events notability Wikipedia:Notability_(events
