As per WP:SENSATION, a minor isolated crime made it to a sensational news series by the local national media. Also fails WP:LASTING since there is no credible notable event arising from this incident. Like a nation-wide law enacted (not just proposed or filed) Hariboneagle927 (talk) 23:43, 4 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - plenty of good sources. coverage seems extensive. the article is ok. Overall it covers WP:COVERAGE.--BabbaQ (talk) 16:59, 5 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Because it seems to lack ongoing coverage and because the fact that "Manila prosecutor clears milk tea poison suspect " [1] raises BLP issues.E.M.Gregory (talk) 15:33, 6 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep There are still ongoing concerns with the rampant sale of oxalic acid in Manila, the same poisonous chemical compound that was the cause of the deaths two years ago.1 2--RioHondo (talk) 07:55, 11 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete this article. Not everything newsworthy is encyclopedic. No need to have a whole separate article about an alleged crime whose charges have been dismissed, with no WP:LASTING effect. We can put a small amount of content reflecting the concerns about rampant sales of oxalic acid in manila into oxalic acid#Toxicity and safety. Something like, "in 2015, a case of apparent poisoning by oxalic acid raised concerns in Manlila about unrestricted sales of the compound, however, no laws were passed or changed as a followup and the charges in the case were dismissed".ref There are concerns about lots of things, but it doesn't mean we need a separate article on any incident that is related to those concerns. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 19:07, 11 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete - not even a major crime in that barangay; it was totally run of the mill. I have been there -- to visit my partner's family for Pasko -- and this was not even a topic of discussion compared to other crimes in the area. Bearian (talk) 13:38, 18 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
