Jose Figueroa deportation case

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Fails WP:SINGLEEVENT and WP:GNG. Seems to be written by an editor with a clear COI JMHamo (talk) 21:38, 22 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as clearly nothing suggesting a solidly notable and thus acceptable article. Nothing else convincing here, SwisterTwister talk 22:57, 22 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep – As an event, the topic has received ongoing significant coverage in reliable sources. As such, it meets WP:GNG and does not fail WP:SINGLEEVENT, because in part per WP:SINGLEEVENT, "The general rule in many cases is to cover the event, not the person". Source examples include those listed below. See also: WP:NEXIST. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 17:33, 24 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep articles in The Star and The Globe and Mail show that this case has significance across Canada. For significance abroad, you just need to search for "José Figueroa" "deportación" and you will find articles in the USA and El Salvador. Passes WP:GNG hands down.

Keep. Event covered by articles in national newspapers indicates notability to me. I am unclear as to the relevance of WP:SINGLEEVENT: I think a biographical article on Jose Figueroa himself would fall foul of it, but I don't see how an article on the event for which he is notable can do. The fact that the article is substantially written by an editor with a COI is not to me a reason to delete it, though it might be a reason that it needs cleaning up.
