Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2009 White House gatecrash incident
Multiple users have invoked  without a clear explanation as to why they think that applies.  It obviously does not provide for the deletion of all topics just because they are recent and covered in the news.  Rather, it singles out trivial items that are the subject of "''routine'' coverage" in the news, which clearly does not apply here.  Beyond that, NOTNEWS just broadly states that a subject's coverage in the news does not automatically merit coverage in Wikipedia.  It does not state that subjects covered in the news cannot be covered in Wikipedia, nor does it provide criteria for evaluating when news stories are notable.  So I'm failing to see how NOTNEWS is a valid and relevant argument here, at least without elaboration.  Anyone care to explain
