Atlanta Falcons Noise gate

WP:NOTNEWS might apply here. When searching for this "Noisegate" thing, I found most sources are from the first few days of February; compare it to Deflategate, where, despite being from late January, coverage continues to this day. A mention at Atlanta Falcons might suffice, but I don't think "Noisegate" is notable enough for its own page, especially considering only one source was sourced on the page. Pyrotle…the "y" is silent, BTW. 23:52, 19 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete it hasn't had any lasting power that I can find. Should it be referenced again later on, then we have something. Mentioning in the Falcons article is a good place.--Paul McDonald (talk) 13:04, 20 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Per WP:EVENT and WP:NOTNEWS; as Paul McDonald correctly notes above, there is no evidence that this one-cycle news event has any long-term notability. Depending on sources and outcome, this may or may not deserve a mention and a footnote in the 2015 NFL and Atlanta Falcons season articles. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 15:52, 20 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom and subsequent comments; there's nothing I can really add to the above votes, no substantial coverage since the story first broke mean this now falls down on WP:EVENT and WP:NOTNEWS. ✤ Fosse 8 ✤ 16:16, 20 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: I think we need a corollary to NFT: Wikipedia is not for something a bored sportswriter scribbled to beat deadline. (Oh, wait, there is ...) Nha Trang ^Allons! 19:22, 20 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - non-notable event, article even specifically states that this has been a very minor story -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 09:11, 22 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and Redirect to Atlanta Falcons 2014 season (unless an article is written on 2014 NFL controversies generally). Minor non-notable infraction of sporting rules. Only passing notability results from (i) contrasts with DeflateGate hysteria, and (ii) what was presented as (and felt like) a scandal ridden year for the NFL. --Legis (talk - contribs) 23:50, 23 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
