Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Colorado balloon incident
The people citing  need to work on their reading comprehension skills. I guess they're thinking of the sentence "Routine news coverage of such things as announcements, sports, and tabloid journalism are not sufficient basis for an article," but there was nothing routine about this&mdash;it was the front-page story on every major news outlet for the better part of the day, and there will likely be additional developments and follow-up coverage for several days. The point of the notability requirement is to ensure that WP doesn't cover topics that are so obscure or trivial that they won't be properly sourced or reviewed. The huge number of people participating in this AfD suggests this isn't an issue in this case
