Wikipedia has several "International reactions to..." articles that detail the international reactions and responses to a particular incident or event. This may be useful when this response no longer fits into the main article and should be split according to the summary style guidelines.

However, these articles may suffer from:

  • Too much detail and being directory like (WP:NOTDIR)
  • Using routine announcements and news reports (WP:NOTNEWS)
  • Bias, promoting a particular reaction or event beyond it's significance in reliable sources (WP:NPOV)
  • Focussing unduly on recent events (WP:RECENTISM)
  • Not themselves covering a notable topic, if multiple reliable sources have not given significant coverage to the reactions (WP:N)
  • Being only a collection of quotes, possibly suitable for transwiki to Wikiquote

Some of the articles have been deleted or merged following a debate at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, e.g. Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Public reactions to death of Rachel Corrie (listed four times at deletion review).

Articles may be categorised in Category:International reactions to man-made disasters, Category:International responses to natural disasters, Category:International responses to media-related events and include:
