Keep large enough event that has received international attention and raising concerns about the infrastructure around American cellular networks. PaulRKil (talk) 03:44, 24 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Seems similar to the Rogers outage in Canada a while ago. Which was also due to a hardware upgrade... This seems well sourced. Also received international attention [1], indicating notability. Oaktree b (talk) 00:34, 24 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. News coverage on its own does not confer notability. This is a detail of History of AT&T, not its own historical event. If several sources come out in the following years recapping the sequence of events or studying its effects (not just adding new developments), then the subject will be notable.

Delete An example of an outage due to a system upgrade, a relatively common occurrence. Very little, if any, coverage in international media. AusLondonder (talk) 19:16, 24 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: per nom. DrowssapSMM 19:52, 24 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. It's the assumed principle that an outage of significance would have lasted longer than a few hours. Plus the outage was not due to a cyberattack, therefore the WP:SIGCOV is mainly WP:ROUTINE mentions. Conyo14 (talk) 21:08, 24 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Strong keep Massive outage that impacted all 50 states. Incidentally, the 71,000 figure are just the people who reported the outage online. This outage impacted millions. Strong keep, as a notable, and preventable, event.Juneau Mike (talk) 21:44, 24 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
