Self-immolation of Maxwell Azzarello: The most recent coverage, also represented in the article, is of the donation of his kidneys.  A redirect to List_of_political_self-immolations#2020s where this is mentioned is probably more than sufficient.  The AfD was well attended, but explicitly allowed revisiting it, so bringing it back here.

No evidence of sustained coverage with the article heavily reliant on primary sources.  Esolo5002 ( talk ) 18:27, 24 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Merge/redirect to the above per WP:NOTNEWS .

Randomdude0000 ( talk ) 14:52, 25 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep and wait - There are still explicit references to the self-immolation being made as it occurred during the trail kickoff.  Wait until after the trial to see if it meets WP:NOTNEWS .  GobsPint ( talk ) 19:02, 25 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] "New Episode Of The Josh Marshall Podcast: Cricket's Revenge" .  TPM – Talking Points Memo .  May 9, 2024.  Merge to List of political self-immolations , per my comment in the previous AFD.  Like I said there: "Yes, it did receive coverage in the news, but a lot of the coverage is WP:PRIMARYNEWS sources, and that does not automatically make a news story notable. I'd actually argue that this violates WP:NOTNEWS . For a news story to be notable, it needs to have WP:LASTING effects, which haven't been proven here yet. Furthermore, I have WP:BLP1E concerns about the existence of this article. While it's unfortunate that this man was driven to self-immolate based on a conspiracy theory, this would be a WP:MILL event if it were not for the venue of the self-immolation, outside a courthouse in NYC where Trump is being tried. I'm not seeing why we need a separate article, as opposed to mentioning this incident in another article, per WP:NOPAGE ."  I still don't see much lasting coverage; it's being mentioned in passing, but almost all sources are from a month ago.  – Epicgenius ( talk ) 15:45, 26 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete A merge is unnecessary as the incident is already listed at List of political self-immolations and I can't see what specifically needs to be merged.
