Notability?[edit]
Seems doubtful per WP:NEVENT. Does this pass the WP:10YT? -Ad Orientem (talk) 03:54, 20 June 2024 (UTC)
- It seems to pass NEVENT and given it occurred less than 24-hours ago, the 10-year test can’t be proven nor really thought of. I would say reassess in a week. As a note, the vandalism is still getting a ton of media attention, with [1][2][3][4][5][6] all published within the last hour (of this message). So check-back in a week. I am going to remove the notability tag for now, given the large-scale media coverage, every part of NEVENT is proven and obvious passes. Only LASTING isn’t clear, due to how recent it is.

- I doubt it's gonna be discussed in two days, let alone a week. LilianaUwU (talk / contributions) 07:38, 20 June 2024 (UTC)
- I agree that it likely does not meet the criteria for a notable event at the moment unless enduring significance and depth can be shown. I think this can be easily brought up at the main article, in the newly created section. I was about to nominate for XFD, but glad I checked the talk page for a discussion. I will wait a week. I worry about reaction cruft in the meantime. --Classicwiki (talk) If you reply here, please ping me. 06:37, 20 June 2024 (UTC)]
- The paint's been cleaned off already. All claims of 'damage' in our articles (not just this one, but Stonehenge and Just Stop Oil too) were premature. I've nominated this article for deletion. Bluntly, it's tabloid scaremongering. GenevieveDEon (talk) 09:36, 20 June 2024 (UTC)
- Also a terrible choice of title. "Not a newspaper" shouldn't mean "no, is just a redtop tabloid rag". Even the likes of Sky News is framing the "vandalism?" in a distinctly Betteridge's law of headlines manner. 109.255.211.6 (talk) 08:30, 20 June 2024 (UTC)
- Lets keep it for now and see how much coverage this act of vandalism receives in the next week. I think it's premature to delete it immediately. Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 20:36, 20 June 2024 (UTC)
- @Jeanne boleyn, it is already nominated for deletion. Best to give your opinion at the nomination page. --Classicwiki (talk) If you reply here, please ping me. 20:38, 20 June 2024 (UTC)
- @Classicwiki My opinion is don't delete, but Vandalism of Stonehenge sounds like a general name, but we are only talking about this specific case of vandalism. I don't know if Stonehenge has been vandalized before, but seems possible, but also vandalism is a sort of modern term. Alexysun (talk) 17:14, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
- It definitely has been vandalised before, but at the moment I'm not at all convinced that there's enough material on that for an article separate from the main Stonehenge article. But if you are arguing against deletion, please do go to the discussion page for deletion (linked at the top of the article page) and have your say. GenevieveDEon (talk) 17:17, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
- @Alexysun, as GenevieveDEon said above. --Classicwiki (talk) If you reply here, please ping me. 18:10, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
