Writing about breaking news may be <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:RECENTISM" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:RECENTISM">recentism</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:CRYSTAL" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:CRYSTAL">Wikipedia is not a crystal ball</a>. It is recommended that editors start a section about the event within an existing article on a related topic if possible, which may later be split into its own article if the coverage suggests that the event is independently notable. </p><p>Many articles on events are created in <i>anticipation</i> of their notability. Anticipation is the creation of an article on a recent event with the expectation that it will meet inclusion guidelines, before the duration of coverage or any lasting effect is certain. For example, <a href="/wiki/June_2009_Washington_Metro_train_collision" title="June 2009 Washington Metro train collision">June 2009 Washington Metro train collision</a> was started just 60 minutes after the crash occurred. The rescue operation was still ongoing, an investigation was yet to begin, and the final death toll was unknown. </p><p>Anticipation of notability may be mistaken. Many events portrayed by the media as major on the day they occur quickly become only a footnote. For example, it was reported in January 2009 that <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Asa_Seeley" title="Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Asa Seeley">a man was planning to travel to Washington to assassinate George W. Bush</a>. It was reported several days later that he had no such plans and this event was shown to be nothing more than a <a href="/wiki/Special:Diff/330398562" title="Special:Diff/330398562">routine arrest</a>. However, articles about widely reported major unexpected or unprecedented events such as the <a href="/wiki/2004_Indian_Ocean_earthquake" class="mw-redirect" title="2004 Indian Ocean earthquake">2004 Indian Ocean earthquake</a>, the <a href="/wiki/Assassination_of_Benazir_Bhutto" title="Assassination of Benazir Bhutto">Assassination of Benazir Bhutto</a> or the <a href="/wiki/Death_of_Michael_Jackson" title="Death of Michael Jackson">Death of Michael Jackson</a> will almost certainly gain consensus to be kept even when created on the same day as the event occurred. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Don't_rush_to_delete_articles" data-mw-thread-id="h-Don't_rush_to_delete_articles-Breaking_news"><span id="Don.27t_rush_to_delete_articles"></span><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Don't_rush_to_delete_articles-Breaking_news"></span><span id="Don't_nominate_too_rapidly_for_deletion">Don't rush to delete articles</span><span data-mw-comment-end="h-Don't_rush_to_delete_articles-Breaking_news"></span></h3><span class="mw-editsection"> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Notability_(events)&action=edit&section=18" title="Edit section: Don't rush to delete articles" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> <span class="minerva-icon minerva-icon--edit"></span> <span>edit</span> </a> </span> </div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1252059228"><div class="module-shortcutanchordiv"><span id="WP:RAPID"></span></div><div class="module-shortcutboxplain noprint" role="note"><div class="module-shortcutlist"><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Shortcut" title="Wikipedia:Shortcut">Shortcut</a></div><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1126788409"><div class="plainlist"><ul><li><span class="plainlinks"><a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:RAPID&redirect=no">WP:RAPID</a></span></li></ul></div></div> <p>Articles about breaking news events are often rapidly nominated for deletion. As <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:DEADLINE" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:DEADLINE">there is no deadline</a>, it is recommended to delay the nomination for a few days to avoid the deletion debate dealing with a moving target and to allow time for a clearer picture of the notability of the event to emerge, which may make a deletion nomination unnecessary.

There may be <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:ATD" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:ATD">alternatives to deletion</a>, such as merging or reworking the article so that it conforms with policy, for example, by rewriting an article about a person known only for one event to be about the event.
