I was under the impression from reading Wikipedia's policies that this is not a newspaper. Sinkholes are common place and nothing makes this one special. EditorDownUnder (talk) 11:09, 17 June 2016 (UTC)

- Delete, fails WP:GNG per WP:NOTNEWS and WP:EVENT. Just another run of the mill news story, nothing to see here, move along. :) - SanAnMan (talk) 14:38, 17 June 2016 (UTC)
- Merge to Rideau Street where it should have gone in the first place. The utter banality of this event and routine news coverage would make me say delete if there weren't a suitable target. Incidentally, Ottawa is largely built on clay and has frequent sinkholes—2014, 2013, 2012, etc. etc. [1]. Voceditenore (talk) 17:16, 17 June 2016 (UTC)

- Redirect to Rideau Street; there's already a sentence there on it, which is enough for such a tiny event. ansh666 18:55, 17 June 2016 (UTC)
- Redirect to Rideau Street, leaving open the option to selectively merge if anyone's interested in doing so. North America1000 22:28, 17 June 2016 (UTC)
