The result was keep. There is no consensus to delete. General consensus is that news items which do not have enduring notability (short lived) are not suitable for Wikipedia; however, there is no clear consensus that this news item will not last, and arguments have been put forward that there is a possibility the information will be referred to in books on the topic. Additionally, it is felt that the incident is interesting enough to be included in at least two other articles - one on related scams and the other on the victim who appears to have some form of notability and an article may be created on this person at some point. Given the lack of clear consensus to delete, and arguments put forward for possible endurance of interest in the material this is a keep. SilkTork *YES! 10:02, 25 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
This is a news story only, and fails WP:NOTE; see also WP:NOTNEWS. Would be appropriate for Wikinews. PROD was removed with no substantive response ("deprod...if you believe it isn't notable, take to afd"). TJRC (talk) 00:41, 16 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
