Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Colorado balloon incident
While it's true that | Wikipedia is not news, WP does cover major news events. You may or may not know this, but on the homepage of WP is an entire section devoted to breaking news. Yes, a family seeking media attention doesn't have the same global weight of something like the October 2009 Lahore attacks or some guy getting canonized by the pope, but guess what? Both stories are on the homepage. Maybe the  fanatics should go delete those "news articles". Sheesh. On Twitter the Falcon's story dominated trending topics for the entire day. The pope never made a blip on the radar. You can't dispute the notoriety that millions of people were concerned with the subject. --Special:Contributions/75.34.181.114|75.34.181.114
