The result was no consensus. There is no consensus to delete or merge this article, and I see no compelling policy argument that would require doing so in the absence of consensus. Any undue weight and BLP issues can be addressed by editing the article. Sandstein 08:17, 11 March 2011 (UTC) reply
Undue amount of scrutiny for a currently non-notable event. Recommend deletion and move to Wikipedia:Article Incubator instead for now in case it eventually is notable. Avanu ( talk) 12:40, 3 March 2011 (UTC) reply
I would like to be more clear on what I mean by 'notable'. Yes, it has recieved a LOT of coverage in the media, but ultimately what is it we are covering in this article? A man was accused of sexual indiscretion.
How notable is that really? Is he the first well-known person to be accused of something like that?
Is there something particularly notable about how the case has proceeded thus far? Assange claimed the US was out to get him, yet there has been no evidence of that in this article.
Ultimately what we have here is a rather commonplace event (so far), and really most other people in Wikipedia don't get this much attention. This is why it is currently not truly notable, and rather than delete it all entirely, that is why I recommend above that it be put in the Wikipedia:Article Incubator. -- Avanu ( talk) 12:49, 3 March 2011 (UTC) reply
"Routine kinds of news events (including most crimes, accidents, deaths, celebrity or political news, 'shock' news, stories lacking lasting value such as 'water cooler stories,' and viral phenomena) - whether or not tragic or widely reported at the time - are usually not notable unless something further gives them additional enduring significance."
