I guess this is about stolen statutes, but I don't see how, even cleaned up, this is an encyclopedia article. — e. ripley\talk 22:13, 13 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have any references from reliable sources that suggests there is a connection between the two? (If not, it's just your own speculation, which is not relevant to this discussion) -- Boing! said Zebedee 10:52, 15 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak keep. It's always difficult to determine the longer-term notability of very recent events, but these events have attracted coverage around the world including in The Washington Post[1] and The Guardian,[2] which reports that Iranian officials have blamed "the secret hand of England" for the thefts, so maybe the statues will end up in the British Museum in the next room to the Elgin Marbles.

    Well, we'll need something to fill the room should the Greeks ever get their stuff back ;-) -- Boing! said Zebedee 12:45, 15 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
