Short article with a vague title, and there doesn't seem to be enough coverage to pass WP:GNG. Jguglielmin ( talk) 21:04, 10 May 2021 (UTC)

- Merge with List of mass hysteria cases. The 2008 case seems borderline notable, and should at least be included in the list. But not enough in-depth coverage to warrant an article. ‡ Єl Cid of Valencia talk 20:04, 11 May 2021 (UTC)

- delete This appears to involve basically a single incident which comes across as a relatively widely reported slow news day item, and which nobody cared about the day after. It doesn't appear to be a notable incident. Mangoe ( talk) 03:12, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
- Keep/merge There are other cases of this – see Tanganyika laughter epidemic, for example. For a book on the subject, see Mass Hysteria in Schools. Policies WP:ATD and WP:PRESERVE apply. Andrew🐉( talk) 10:19, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
- Delete/merge Not sure this quite matches the content of that list, but there's obviously no lasting significance to this passing event. Unclear what the above book or article has to do with the notability of the topic at hand. Reywas92 Talk 04:39, 27 May 2021 (UTC)
