Entirely un-notable topic, per WP:N. The only basis for its inclusion in this resource seems to be that this event was covered in a single newspaper at the time of occurrence. What relevance this has to anyone except the individuals immediately involved in the story is a mystery to me. Walkersam (talk) 01:31, 17 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I'm more than a little leery of the fact that the only newspaper articles about this appear to be on a blog. It doesn't help that this article is fairly closely paraphrased from said blog, so I've tagged it for speedy deletion on those grounds. However even if this gets declined, this appears to be a very non-notable event. Sometimes disputes between families can become notable but this appears to have been little more than a small, petty squabble between families that never gained more attention than the local papers. This is pretty much the epitome of WP:ONEEVENT. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 05:11, 17 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
