  4. Oppose Ashish-g55 ( talk) 14:48, 19 July 2009 (UTC) reply
  5. Support. This will be the top story across the English-language media, and for us to ignore it would be to impose our own POV. -- Mwalcoff ( talk) 16:57, 19 July 2009 (UTC) reply

  5. Comment - I'm not sure how big this is outside America. I've personally never heard of him and the article suggests his activities were located within the country. My feeling would be he's probably not as notable as say, Glenn Miller or Steve Fossett -- Daviessimo ( talk) 08:29, 21 July 2009 (UTC) reply

I think it's more generational. He's one of the major names of the 60s. Certainly more notable than Glenn Miller or Steve Fossett.-- Johnsemlak ( talk) 17:48, 4 September 2009 (UTC) reply

  3. Oppose, unless it also beats record referred to above. Record breaking can be newsworthy, passing an arbitrary, albeit mathematically neat, threshold is not. Kevin McE ( talk) 20:55, 11 August 2009 (UTC) reply
     • Note: The most points scored by a single player game is 100. That's the record. – Howard the Duck 07:03, 21 August 2009 (UTC) reply
  4. Oppose, a sports stat which would not make much impact beyond the sport or be of much interest to those outside it. It is also a bit too local as this sport is not just played in the United States where this league is. -- can dle • wicke 17:09, 4 September 2009 (UTC) reply

     I don't get this: "not just played in the United States where this league is." You mean basketball is not that played elsewhere? – Howard the Duck 16:18, 28 September 2009 (UTC) reply

     No, the exact opposite. :) -- can dle • wicke 21:02, 14 October 2009 (UTC) reply

  2. Hmm... that's an interesting one. I imagine it would create a lot of international reaction and certainly if he died while still manager so I would hypothetically support that one. -- can dle • wicke 17:04, 4 September 2009 (UTC) reply

  3. Support. But who will be alive to report on wikipedia.-- yousaf465' 03:54, 31 October 2009 (UTC) reply

     A bot.   Cargoking   talk  13:16, 31 October 2009 (UTC) reply

     So should we request such a bot at WP:BOTREQ. I like the idea though.-- yousaf465' 09:27, 1 November 2009 (UTC) reply

• Obvious support Papercuts aren't that common in America, and it was shown in all newspapers in the world (the world in this case meaning the United States). That papercut could have had deadly consequences on the world (again, the United States). Fixman ( talk!) 15:21, 3 May 2010 (UTC) reply
