This is an article about the controversy surrounding an offensive YouTube video uploaded by a college student. It does have plenty of sources, but it does not seem like an incident of lasting notability. The student left the university because of harassment due to the video. No one was killed, hurt, or even sued. Wikipedia doesn't need an article for every viral video or student prank gone wrong. Will Beback talk 21:03, 25 March 2011 (UTC)Reply[reply]
(outdent) Comment - The whole idea of the concept of NOTNEWS is that "big" news stories like this one (cough cough) are apt to have a multitude of so-called "reliable sources" writing on the topic, thereby instantly establishing notability under Wikipedia guidelines. The policy implies that we are to step back and take a breath from all this breathless 24-hour news cycle frenzy and to make sure that a topic has a certain lasting, historical importance. To me, this is a classic example of a manufactured piece of titillating non-news: "vapid blonde girl says insulting things about asians on YouTube, gets owned by the world." If people are still talking about this "event" in a year, THEN it's a worthy topic. Until then, kill it and salt it. Carrite (talk) 16:12, 30 March 2011 (UTC)Reply[reply]
