I have closed the DRV on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Steven Slater as "move to JetBlue Flight 1052 and relist on AfD." Please re-evaluate this article, now as a page about the event. I have not changed anything in the article, so if it is kept please rewrite it to reflect the event. I abstain. King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 19:15, 24 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - I was in favor of deleting the Slater article, which came up for deletion just as the story was breaking. i think it's a bigger story than I thought it was then and I also think that listing the episode under this header rather than the name of the flight attendant makes inclusion less objectionable. This event has moved from a bizarre news event to become a part of popular culture, like it or not. Carrite (talk) 19:23, 24 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Massive coverage and commentary in the media = notability. WP:NOTNEWS does not mean that Wikipedia cannot have articles about topics that are reported in the news; it means we do not create articles about topics simply because they are reported in the news. Wherever the line is drawn, this story clearly crossed it. Propaniac (talk) 19:38, 24 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

-* '''Delete''' - When it all said and done, this article is about a non-notable flight in which someone decided to quit his job at the end of it. If articles were created every time a non-notable person quit his job for non-notable reasons just because the event gets some press, then that would create a difficult precedent to over-come.--[[User:Jojhutton|Jojhutton]] ([[User talk:Jojhutton|talk]]) 19:38, 24 August 2010 (UTC)
