Fails WP:NOTNEWS. A tragic event, but no lasting coverage or enduring notability for this unusual but minor incident ("minor" for everyone but the directly involved, just like e.g. thousands of car crashes every day). Got some international attention when it happened due to the combination of "unusual" and "Abba", but such human interest articles come and go swiftly. Fram (talk) 14:30, 22 December 2021 (UTC)

- Delete per nom; there isn't even any lasting local coverage. I think the article creator is a sockpuppet (am creating an SPI report) so it may even be speediable. --bonadea contributions talk 14:51, 22 December 2021 (UTC)
- Delete: Sad incident since the guy at the bottom died as well, but it is not even close to meeting WP:GNG. It's difficult even finding Swedish language coverage. Curbon7 (talk) 19:34, 22 December 2021 (UTC)
- Delete, per nom. Tragic incident, but a tragic incident among a daily sea of similar tragic accidents. /Julle (talk) 21:34, 22 December 2021 (UTC)
- Keep. Plenty of coverage around the world.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] -- Necrothesp (talk) 11:26, 23 December 2021 (UTC)
- None of it WP:SUSTAINED though, which is the reason for the deletion nomination. That it was reported on internationally was already in the deletion statement... Fram (talk) 11:37, 23 December 2021 (UTC)

would suggest editors believe otherwise, hence my clarification. -- Necrothesp (talk) 11:44, 23 December 2021 (UTC)

- Delete NOT NEWS. But the situation calls for neither joking nor irony. DGG ( talk ) 17:44, 24 December 2021 (UTC)
Keep This subject meets the criteria for being in an encyclopedia. There is plenty of coverage so I think it should be kept. There are plenty of Wikipedia articles that include more or less celebrity gossip and other things that are not suitable for an encyclopedia.Tanumena (talk) 12:31, 25 December 2021 (UTC)— Tanumena (talk •contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. — Tanumena (talk · contribs) is a confirmed sock puppet of Linde Place (talk · contribs).- Delete Wikipedia isn't a news outlet. Sure this has gotten some coverage in the moment, but suicides like this one often do, and I doubt it will get any kind of long-term sustained coverage once it dies down as a topic. Everything about it is literally from this month and the end of November. It's not like the article can't be recreated if there continues to be coverage of it in a few months or whatever. In the meantime, I think this also goes against Wikipedia not being a repository of basic facts. A single sentence about the "Incident" is extremely WP:MILL. --Adamant1 (talk) 14:46, 26 December 2021 (UTC)
- Delete per policy; also, has failed to gather sufficient, lasting, third-party independent WP:SIGCOV to warrant an article. ——Serial 13:46, 28 December 2021 (UTC)
- Delete It is very obvious that this is WP:NOTNEWS and there is no more media coverage about it. All sources are from the days after it happened. Also, the author is banned since they have disrupted Wikipedia. See Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Linde Place. Drierlodge (talk) 18:38, 28 December 2021 (UTC)
