Keep I was able to find and add a number of reliable, third-party citations in the form of news articles from various locations in the United States, published from 1991 to 2007. One unfortunate fact of life on the Web v. 2 is that many news sites are now pay-per-view and so many other potential references are unavailable for free. I was able to find a good cross section among the free ones, however. The widespread nature of the publications, both in terms of time and geography, are sufficient to establish the notability of this event. Not that the article doesn't need work – it does – but the article is notable for our purposes. Geoff ^{Who, me?} 22:36, 15 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

~~Keep~~ Speedy Keep – Easily-found reliable sources that address the topic in detail equate to topic notability for Spamarama (passes WP:GNG). Here's a few I added to the article:

Keep. The article clearly needs work, but the list of references demonstrates it satisfies the general notability guideline. Lagrange 613 17:26, 27 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
