I don't think the lawsuit is itself independently notable, and I believe the notable information is already there in the Alaska lunar sample displays article. Delete. (If consensus is not to delete it, perhaps merge it.) --Nlu (talk) 16:56, 12 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

~~Oppose deletion~~ Merge I've added two additional sources, so far. the lawsuit is important in that it deals with the legal question of ownership of the display and the moon rock. I've added another source to the many that are already there. The case has not (so far as I know) been finally resolved or decided, and one can reasonably anticipate further legal developments. Notability is clear, in my opinion. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 19:02, 12 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Alaska lunar sample displays. The case itself has not received significant coverage, especially since it's a local state court matter (as opposed to federal). Nevertheless, it seems it would fit better as a new section in the main article, something like 'Litigation' or 'Legal disputes'. -- Lord Roem (talk) 19:41, 13 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - not a notable legal case by any stretch of the imagination. I can't anticipate that this would be a notable case in property law; cf. Pierson v. Post. Bearian (talk) 17:10, 14 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Alaska lunar sample displays - per the same arguments as Lord Roem above.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 12:25, 15 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Alaska lunar sample displays - per Lord Roem above.
