Fails WP:EVENT. Not shown to have lasting significance, i.e., continued coverage beyond routine news reports at the time of the incident and at time of the federal criminal complaints, sentencing, etc., of connected people. Bridget (talk) 01:41, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, could not find any non-routine coverage of the poisoning. Esolo5002 (talk) 03:59, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. While tragic, this fails WP:NEVENT and contravenes WP:NOTNEWS; every source I could see is routine coverage. – Epicgenius (talk) 14:22, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per #4 of WP:EVENTCRIT. Astaire (talk) 15:41, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep – These sources (which don't appear to be routine coverage), [1] [2] [3], already provide continued significant and in-depth coverage of the case. Lasting effects arising from this case are possible, but as of yet, haven't happened yet. Quoting from the first article linked: “I’m very sorry, but one of the things my child care inspectors are not trained to do is look for fentanyl,” Dr. Ashwin Vasan, the city’s health commissioner said. [...] “But maybe we need to start,” the commissioner added. Aviationwikiflight (talk) 16:43, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or redirect Wikipedia is not a news tabloid that redirects to Wikinews. 190.219.101.225 (talk) 17:30, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
WP:NOTNEWS states that Wikipedia should not offer first-hand news reports on breaking stories [as] Wikipedia does not constitute a primary source. The sources above are secondary and are not first-hand reports on breaking news since they provide continued coverage, along with analysis, evaluation, interpretation, or synthesis of the case.

Delete not a notable enough event with SIGCOV. Andre🚐 03:00, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - a classic example of Not News. There was significant coverage in New York metro media for two days. Then there was the usual coverage of the plea bargain. That's it. I feel sorry because I grew up in the area and taught over the course of four years in the Bronx. Bearian (talk) 04:47, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete This is a sad and strange story but not a notable topic. There have been over 100,000 drug overdose deaths per year for quite a few years in the United States. The age of the victim does not make this single death notable. Cullen328 (talk) 06:42, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Wikipedia is not news, it must have some sort of lasting significance and this is just a one-off odd situation. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 14:10, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect or perhaps even merge into Opioid epidemic in the United States. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 20:15, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
