This is a clear cut case of WP:NOTNEWS, as all coverage simply covered it as it happens and that's it. Only other things were passing mentions in books that don't cover this event in a lasting point of view. Beerest355 Talk 23:47, 17 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - fails WP:NEVENT (I think this is the appropriate one?). Ansh666 02:26, 18 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete WP:NEVENT failure; thing happened, perps get fired, life goes on. Nothing more than that and all coverage was confined to the days after the event. Nate • (chatter) 04:35, 18 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep There are two reasonably reliable books mentioning the episode well after the original news flurry, analyzing it in a broader context. This makes it meet WP:NEVENT: it received widespread coverage (at the moment of the event) and also subsequent analysis and discussion. -- cyclopiaspeak! 09:30, 19 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete, the two sources found by Cyclopia are really, really slight mentions, and I don't feel comfortable saying that this passes WP:NEVENT just based on those two sources; otherwise, there is no real lasting repercussions to this event.--TKK bark ! 12:24, 20 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - no lasting or broader significance of what was a distasteful but minor incident. The Whispering Wind (talk) 02:21, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
