[[WP:NOTNEWSPAPER]] & [[WP:EVENT]]

It is still not clear that this article meets the above policy, it needs to have sources written after the event attesting to its

enduring historical significance. Mt king ^(edits) 06:28, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

:: Coming up to one month after this all started, the only sources are in the period of the attacks and the arrest, I have been unable to find any sources outside this period so I propose reinserting the {{tlx|notability|event}} tag to see if others can. Mt king ^(edits) 07:33, 28 January 2012 (UTC)

:::I would suggest putting the tag on the article for 1 month (or something like that). After that period, either remove the tag or renominate it at WP:AFD. Magister Scienta ^talk 14:12, 28 January 2012 (UTC)

::::{{done}}Mt king ^(edits) 01:34, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

:::There's been two AfDs on this and the decision was to "keep". Please show some respect for this decision into which you've already provided your input (repeatedly) by waiting until next year before renominating this. The fact the Wikipedia Main Page editors decided to link to this story should say something about their view. You aren't likely to find sources when you don't want to find them. I took a very cursory look myself today and found a new Associated Press story from this week.--Brian Dell (talk) 19:42, 25 February 2012 (UTC)

:: No the two news refs are not about the attacks but about the mother of the accused, not about the arson attacks, reverting the removal of the tag, WP:NOTNEWSPAPER is a policy and this does not show it meets that policy. Mt king ^(edits) 21:32, 25 February 2012 (UTC)

::: It is reportedly the extradition of the mother that caused the attacks, by means of igniting the arsonist's hatred for "America" or the system or whatever his issue is. There has already been an AfD decision and it should be respected.--Brian Dell (talk) 01:01, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

:::: So how does an article about someone not actually involved in this crime (ie not the accused or the victim) demonstrate that this crime is notable ? Mt king ^(edits) 01:29, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

Seriously, why would anyone want to delete this entry? I have a relative who lost their vehicle. 90% of Californians will tell you it was a very notable event. There will be a trial which will ensure more publicity. I just went thru the history of this article and find it very peculiar that the same person keeps wanting to delete it, in spite of multiple votes. What's the problem here?
