219:. Well... newspaper sources are typically considered to be reliable sources that can help show notability and to be honest, there shouldn't really be anything in here that isn't sourced by one thing or another. We also don't delete something because it's old news. If someone or something achieves notability per Knowledge guidelines, that notability does not go away over time. (Unless the standards tighten up and they don't meet the new guidelines, that is.) I cleaned the article up a little and took out a few things, but I'm more worried that this didn't get enough coverage to count as notable. I'll see what else I can find or if this can be mentioned somewhere else on Knowledge with this name as a redirect. It's big enough that it got quite a bit of coverage, but not enough to where it clearly isn't just a case of
688:. Subject is notable for only one event: being arrested for a crime that he was never charged or convicted of. I don't believe the "person of interest" and his punk rock band are at all notable, and the "Awards" section doesn't have any citations, and the single award doesn't seem notable either. If the crime (the leaking of government plans) was notable (doubtful), it should have an article, but the article should be about the crime - not the person who is only notable for being arrested and released the same day.
267:- The claim of notability is in the article and supported by citations. Regardless of the citations being in print or online, they are still citations. The notion that the article should be deleted based on the citations being from newspapers is rediculous. Google the name followed by "arrest" and there are plenty of online sources. Just a note to Fedgetrashmore - it is always good to check out sources to see if they exist prior to making a Rfd. --
52:. There isn't strong agreement on whether the sources in this article establish notability, both sides of the argument have valid points and neither side is overwhelming. Also, the strange nature of this AfD (sockpuppet nominator, botched relist) makes it more difficult to close one way or another. For this reason, there is
290:. If you read any of those news links, th arrest had nothing to do with activism, it was only after the arrest that the media got wind of those associations. Moreover, the activism was hardly national news... it relates to a small local bookstore. How can this be considered as notoriety? Delete. --

This is a close call. Of course the event passes WP:GNG, but is it a forgettable WP:NOT routine event or is this a part of
