Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Second child of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge
the nomination statement that this topic is not notable is clearly in error.  According to the |general notability guideline, a topic is notable if it has received "''significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject''".  The announcement has received an enormous level of coverage in such sources, including from http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-29108010 the BBC, http://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-09-08/duke-and-duchess-of-cambridge-expecting-second-child/5728682 the ABC, http://edition.cnn.com/2014/09/08/world/europe/uk-royal-pregnancy/index.html?hpt=hp_t1 CNN, http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2014/09/08/kate-middleton-is-pregnant-again/ The Washington Post and others.  Quite clearly, there is enough coverage here to satisfy the general notability guideline, and then some.  If you feel that the coverage is skewed because it's "just an announcement", even though this argument has no basis in Wikipedia policy, you can see the reams of coverage being generated on other aspects of the story, including http://www.nzherald.co.nz/lifestyle/news/article.cfm?c_id=6&objectid=11321152 this article on Kate's morning sickness from the New Zealand Herald, http://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/world/royal-babies-the-queen-and-mi5-conspiracy-theories-thrive-as-scottish-referendum-nears-20140909-10eiat.html this article on conspiracy theories relating to the announcement and the Scottish referendum, or http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/local-news/provost-congratulates-earl-countess-strathearn-4184773 this article on Alex Salmond's choice of words in his response on Twitter.  Given that this is getting wall to wall TV coverage as well out here in the colonies, I think it fair to say that there'll be plenty more coverage of this before this AFD is due to be closed.  To address some other arguments made in favour of deletion, "Wiki" will not look "silly" if Kate loses the baby, a royal miscarriage will be a notable event even more dramatic than a birth announcement, and the article can simply be renamed should such a series of events occur.  I fully expect that the article will change, grow, and be renamed as more information comes to hand, but those are not reasons to delete the article now
