Yep, but this was before "forking" WikiNews or at the very

leave the news to WikiNews, only remerging into Wikipedia once
importance is clearer and deeper analysis is available from
secondardy sources?

Just because something happened recently doesn't mean it should be
included in Wikipedia. Granted, Wikipedia will generally have less
information on a current event than Wikinews (given WP's greater
emphasis on verifiability) but that doesn't mean that no article is
better than a short article. Besides which, these sorts of articles are
generally plastered with WN links to provide the more up-to-date, less
verifiable information.
