That is exceptionally sound advice for situations like the current one, but I don't think it works as applied in normal times. I don't think we could have no article on, for example, the most recent congressional or parliamentary election even if it's been less than a year since them. Deleting routine articles, or sentences within articles, on grounds of "too new, not a year yet" would certainly soon before more trouble than it was worth.
It might also be more worth than it is trouble :-) Just think: all those "controversy" sections padded with the latest crap form the scandal sheets, all of which can be purged of anything that fails the one year test. Since many of the alleged controversies are teapot tempests, the end result will be better.
