Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2019 Hauz Qazi clash
This is the definition of . Most newsworthy items are not encyclopedia worthy, and, as per , just because an event receives media coverage does not mean it will or should have a standalone article. We should have an article on events which have ''enduring'' historical impact, or which are ''very widely'' covered in national or international media and if the event is ''re-analyzed''. The emphasized words are borrowed directly from EVENTCRIT. We should not have an article for routine events, including for most crimes. Since this is a "current event" only a crystal ball could tell whether this event will have any impact–I strongly suspect it won't and that by this time next week the media will have moved on to other things and nothing more will be said about it. In other words, no . Given the comments by some here and on the article talk page, particularly the referencing of the nominator as being a "sockpuppet of radical Islamic elements", also raises questions over sensationalism for me. We should be wary of furthering tabloidism. Key example: {{tq|Around 200 people gathered at the police station after ''rumours'' that Mohammad had died went viral on WhatsApp. The group then moved on to damage the temple}} - mob mentality fueled by rumors and suspicion, but no concrete facts. My advice to the nominator, if the article is kept, would be to revisit it in 1-2 months. By that point it will be more obvious whether or not the subject holds any encyclopedic value. I'd also advise that in future you heed . The article was created ''today'', and given its currency, it's receiving a lot of attention. In future, give current news events about a week before assessing for deletion
