Sapphire Jubilee of Elizabeth II[edit]

Fails WP:EVENT. Her Sapphire Jubilee was not publically commemorated, and is not comparable with her Golden and Diamond Jubilees. --Nevé –selbert 23:49, 16 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The event did occur, it was observed (see 1), even inspired the name of a building, and it does appear in numerous reliable sources. The fact that it is the first sapphire jubilee for an English monarch also points towards notability. So, even though Liz II evidently decided to stay in for the occasion, it still meets WP:EVENT.

Keep. As PohranicniStraze says, there's multiple substantial international coverage of this event and its commemorations, including stamps and coins, a building naming, etc. [[1][2][3][4][5]. "Low-key" it may have been [6] but notable all the same. --Arxiloxos (talk) 21:00, 18 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
