The result was keep. This is a case in which there was little argument as to whether reliable sources had covered the topic. Rather the discussion centered on how to address the coverage of this story consistent with Wikipedia’s purpose. A minority of the commenters here felt that the coverage would most appropriately be merged back into the parent Catherine, Princess of Wales article, however that view did not reach consensus, with a decided majority either directly or implicitly noting the coverage would overwhelm the article. A majority of the editors responding here felt that the article should be kept, and the information from the sources covering the story presented here in some form. There was a fair bit of support among these editors for restructuring the focus of the article, or renaming it, but they concurred that it should not be deleted. A plurality of editors were concerned with the tabloid/gossip nature of much of the coverage, and argued NOTNEWS either directly, by reference in citing the essay WP:RECENTISM. To be clear however, I did not devalue the opinions of any group of editors; in my opinion the keep editors, collectively acknowledged NOTNEWS, but differed in their view of whether the amount and duration of coverage warranted an exception. I felt that the position that reached consensus in this discussion is that it did. Xymmax So let it be written So let it be done 03:09, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
