This wasn't notable the first time it was nominated; it isn't notable now. Beyond the short burst of initial coverage, there's no evidence of more lasting notability. - Biruitorul ^Talk 21:48, 24 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak keep. The subject and it's aftermath seems to be covered by the press beyond the initial burst (on February 19): in March (Adevărul, Hotnews), April (România Liberă, Hotnews) and July (Cotidianul, Agerpres, Realitatea). Razvan Socol (talk) 18:45, 26 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep appears to pass WP:PERSISTENCE and WP:DIVERSE per sources provided above as well as WP:GEOSCOPE ([1], [2], [3]). Cavarrone (talk) 08:06, 28 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

• Delete. I don't like it when well-written articles are deleted, but this event seems very minor. This sounds like something you'd read about in your local newspaper, not something which will ever make international news. Even if it did, it would be a minor story and definitely not something which many people will remember. Michael5046 (talk) 09:49, 1 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. Sources indicate notability. Everyking (talk) 20:32, 2 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
