- The event being discussed was notable and reported in multiple reliable sources. The section could certainly be trimmed, but blanking the entire section would be disruptive. The input of others would be appreciated. Magnolia677 (talk) 20:07, 1 August 2019 (UTC)

- @Shoy: I have trimmed and re-titled the section. Magnolia677 (talk) 20:35, 1 August 2019 (UTC)
- @Shoy: WTTG, WTOP-FM, and WJLA-TV are all notable Washington media outlets; this was well-reported in the DC area. Magnolia677 (talk) 20:46, 1 August 2019 (UTC)
- @WP:GEOSCOPE). If the New York Times picked this up, that would be something different. shoy (reactions) 20:50, 1 August 2019 (UTC)]
