USA Today'' appears to think this event is notable, so I believe we should have an article for it.  doesn't apply here because it is intended to discourage ''editor'' speculation. It even states, "It is appropriate to report discussion and arguments about the prospects for success of future proposals and projects or whether some development will occur, if discussion is properly referenced." I am not buying the WP:NOT argument here either. The relevant policy is . Much of the policy is meant to discourage people from opening up their newspaper and copying everything into articles.
