  • Keep content is notable, well sourced and too long for a merge. --Fixuture (talk) 20:47, 12 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment "content is notable", could you expand on that? How does this meet
    the guideline for notability of events? I cannot see this suqbble meet any of the criteria listed. Just saying that something is notable isn't enough... --Randykitty (talk) 21:22, 12 March 2017 (UTC)[reply

  • Exactly. Objectively, how could you not consider this irrelevant? AKAKIOS (talk) 21:42, 12 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Why the rush to AfD for this? There's no deadline or hurry for Wikipedia. The nominator should try for AfD again in a few weeks or months if there's no sustained news coverage. As for the "why not merge..." point raised by the nominator - we have Merger Discussions for that kind of thing. Exemplo347 (talk) 21:50, 12 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Actually, it's the other way around. Before you create an article, you show that it is notable. There is indeed no deadline, so what's the hurry in creating this article before we know whether this is going to have any lasting significance? Despite
    WP:EVENT. The article creator should try to create this again in a few weeks or months is there's going to be sustained news coverage. --Randykitty (talk) 21:58, 12 March 2017 (UTC)[reply

I'm again sorry, but this is totally untrue. In fact this article meets most if not all of the criteria of
WP:EVENT when it so evidently does? AKAKIOS (talk) 22:07, 12 March 2017 (UTC)[reply

Thank you for saying this.AKAKIOS (talk) 22:08, 12 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment Yep, and like any
    good newspaper, we have to report on it, right? --Randykitty (talk) 11:14, 13 March 2017 (UTC)[reply

PS: Perhaps I'm the only one to find this ironic, but Wikinews, which unlike WP was actually created to report on current events, still has no article about this... --Randykitty (talk) 11:35, 13 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Very noteworthy and significant especially giving both countries are NATO members. GWA88 (talk) 12:17, 13 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • And yet another !vote solidly based in policy! To all people participating in this debate: please be aware that just saying "this is important" or something similar is not a policy-based !vote and likely to be ignored by the closing admin. --Randykitty (talk) 12:52, 13 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Randykitty: So when does it become noteworthy? I am asking this, cause i can understand your point, yet imo this incident definitely is extraordinary and very unique, particularly regarding the fact that Turkey is actually a Nato ally of Europe and also of the Netherlands.--Joobo (talk) 13:12, 13 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Notable incident which Turkey claims will have repercussions. It is probably essential to understand this incident to understand the Turkey-Netherlands relationship. Kind regards, 92.108.198.54 (talk) 13:08, 13 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
This is me. Timelezz (talk) 13:10, 13 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Per Akakios; this isn't a minor diplomatic encounter, saying that embassies are being threatened and sanctions are possible. This could be trouble for neighboring countries as well as NATO or the United Nations.
