Not the news

Wikipedia is not the news. Is there any indication that this was an event of lasting importance, not just a news headline? VQuakr (talk) 06:30, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Lasting importance here. Also, international news is usualy not just "news" as per NOT#NEWS. jorgenev 06:46, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with VQuakr. I saw no WP:CONTINUEDCOVERAGE. →Σ τ c. 01:47, 20 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
