OR notes

Relevance? Non-notable

It seems to me this would fall under the category of non-noteable. This is no more important than if Granny Smith collapsed at the supermarket. I nominate this article for deletion. CaponeX 10:46, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

It meets Wikinews:Style guide, and also has sources. Granny Smith falling ill is not news because granny smith is not notable and Granny Smith is not a famous well known person. Its not whether the news is important that matters, its whether or not it follows policy. DragonFire1024 (Talk to the Dragon) 10:56, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Meat Loaf is a recording artist on a major American label, who has released hit songs. He is notable, and so his suggested retirement is certainly notable. -- Zanimum 13:43, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

I would argue that if Granny Smith collapsed in a supermarket it too would be newsworthy. --SVTCobra 13:57, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

A shopper stated, "There were apples flying everywhere, it was horrific. People stampeded out of the supermarket as the Granny Smiths were followed by the oranges." --Brian McNeil / ^talk 14:04, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

I like Meat Loaf. I read the article with interest and more than a little dismay, more than I would do for a lot of articles. Blood Red Sandman ^{(Talk) (Contribs)} 17:22, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

A user appearing (although one with knowledge of policies) simply to criticise a ML related article is an experience with which I am familiar on Wikipedia. Just ignore. The JPS 16:10, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
