Christopher Porco → Murder of Peter Porco – Standard naming convention for articles about murders with otherwise non-notable victims/perpetrators. Per WP:SINGLEEVENT, Christopher Porco is not notable aside from this event. Media coverage is focused on the murder, and so is the article. Furthermore, Christopher does not meet WP:PERP, as the victim was not widely renowned and there's nothing to suggest that the motivation for the crime was particularly unusual.

 * Support per nomination. Standard Wikipedia form for main title headers of this nature. Since perpetrator has been convicted, "Murder of" is sustainable. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 01:34, 28 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Support as per the reasoning laid out by other editors above. SunCrow (talk) 04:42, 28 January 2020 (UTC)

The Murder Is Not Described
Before I make my comments, let me say that the idea that this article should be deleted is nonsense. The event in itself is well known, and for that reason alone there should be an article about it. The fact that the murderer and/or his victims were not well known is irrelevant. The same set of circumstances existed for the Lizzie Borden murders, and yet that murder is very noteworthy. The outrageous circumstances of a crime are what make a crime noteworthy. (Why are there so many editors on Wikipedia who just want to delete things?)

The article doesn't detail the actual murder. It doesn't say which end of the axe was used, or which victim was attacked first. The article just assumes that the reader will figure it out. Of course, many details may not be known; but whatever details are known (or surmised) should be reported. The murder is, after all, what the title says the article is about.
