- Keep It had coverage in newspapers in countries all over the world, January through November of 2009. It went beyond a watercooler story which numerous paper covered in one news cycle. It is comparable to the story of Larry Walters flying to great heights in a lawnchair lifted by weather balloons. Edison (talk) 02:02, 22 November 2011 (UTC)
- comment There's no question of coverage, but enduring significance / notability is another issue. There is equivalent coverage on many similar incidents (google 'motorised drink driving') - including bar stools, beer coolers and wheelchairs. Clovis Sangrail (talk) 02:23, 22 November 2011 (UTC)

Besides, nearly a year of international coverage in RS is enduring, by any reasonable definition of the term. Which of your similar incidents have achieved this level of notoriety'?

More noteworthy cases could (in terms of media and as legal test cases) can be found at [[1]] (note title 'another') and [[2]] Clovis Sangrail (talk) 04:39, 22 November 2011 (UTC)
