I tried to look up info about this event (almost 13 years past since it happened) and I don't see the article passing WP:EVENTCRITERIA even under #4. A lot can be found on the idea (which is not directly connected to this) but it acts as a coatrack for the actual event article. – The Grid (talk) 17:19, 19 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete. There's a little bit out there about the World Jump Day hoax, but it would make pretty thin gruel for even the stubbiest of stub articles. What I'd ideally suggest here is a redirect to Torsten Lauschmann. There's actually quite a bit of coverage of his work as an artist in general (for example: [1][2]). I'm pretty sure he's notable, and this "event" would be easily handled in context as cultural performance art. But there's a small problem; his article is a redlink, so there's nothing to redirect. I may see if I can do something about that in the next few days, but I've got a lot on my plate; no promises. Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 17:53, 19 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Squeamish Ossifrage: That would be great to add to once the author's article is created! – The Grid (talk) 14:07, 22 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. @Squeamish Ossifrage: Lauschmann may well be notable; I recommend checking out Page 378 of Sarah Lowndes's book Social Sculpture: The Rise of the Glasgow Art Scene which might have some information about him according to Google Books. wumbolo ^^^ 10:18, 20 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
