*:Should be proposed as policy. No articles can be created on something where the only sources that discuss it are from the past 24 hours. [[User:Traumnovelle|Traumnovelle]] ([[User talk:Traumnovelle|talk]]) 06:33, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
*::It does get proposed from time to time but never goes anywhere. I proposed something like that at the talk page of [[WP:NOT]] last year (see [[Wikipedia talk:What Wikipedia is not/Archive 59#WP:NOTNEWS/unfolding news stories|here]]) but that didn't go anywhere. Many WP editors are pretty addicted to being there first with an unfolding story. As someone wrote in that thread it's "a feature of the wiki model, and legislating against it is bad".

*:::You're right, unfortunately people seem quick to forget that this is an encyclopaedia and what core policies are when it comes to breaking news. [[User:Traumnovelle|Traumnovelle]] ([[User talk:Traumnovelle|talk]]) 08:51, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
*Of course there is already an open move request. Probably 6 more requests and a few more bold moves will be done in the next 24 hours. [[User:Esolo5002|Esolo5002]] ([[User talk:Esolo5002|talk]]) 00:10, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
*This is an embarrassment. For a time, we stated in Wikivoice that the attempted assassin was a transgender, left-wing, antifa agitator attempting a Biden coup who was shot and died because he add low testosterone levels and ate too much soy. We are now saying, unquestioned, that it was an assassination attempt, Trump was shot, and various other details before an investigation has had time to start. The assassination attempt article should not exist until we have some idea of what is going on and all Trump articles should be protected. We are an encyclopedia.
