Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Colorado balloon incident
Two and a half days later, it's still the number one topic on Google News.  If that isn't notability (in the regular, non-Wikipedia, sense), I don't know what is.  If this turns out to be an ephemeral event that no one remembers in a few months' time, it can be revisited then, but per  we should not jump the gun
