To not merge, give that there was significant coverage of the event and lasting coverage that spread nationally; independent notability through First LGBT book ban in Australia. Klbrain (talk) 18:18, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

C-Class article of low-importance a standalone on Wikipedia, and Cumberland City Council article already has a section with several paragraphs on the matter. This article while newsworthy is reflective of a blog post rather than an encyclopaedia article. ThelmaThompson45 (talk) 11:28, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What do you mean by “a standalone article on Wikipedia”? -- NotCharizard ^🗨 17:16, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Ban had pretty significant coverage and I think it can stand on its own, there may be further coverage as an aftermath with the council elections next month as well Totallynotarandomalt69 (talk) 10:48, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Strongly oppose Yes, the coverage was very significant and it went for a few months. It was reported statewide and also nationwide in national media outlets. Moreover, this was the most prominent LGBT controversy in Australia, hence the article is very important. Yucalyptus (talk) 09:16, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. First LGBT book ban in Australia apparently inspired by the US. Well sourced and notable article. MarkiPoli (talk) 10:58, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
