 * Comment - This is not my AfD: I'm copying the debate verbatim from the article's talk page, as it was previously a red-linked debate. I personally am Neutral over this (partly due to the lack of a reason for it's deletion). DitzyNizzy (aka Jess) | (talk to me) | (What I've done)  14:54, 23 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete - The article is about a news event with little local, national, or international significance. Hostage takings are a regular enough occurrence that they do not automatically warrant an article. In this case no one died ... and the man is now in police custody getting help for mental health issues and being investigated to see if he can stand trial. This article is not worthy of a Encyclopedia article and should be deleted. Eja2k (talk) 15:42, 23 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete - Article has little significance, poorly written, poorly cited, more sutable for wiki-news but does not need its own article. Perhaps merge some content with the Alberta WCB article if necessary but otherwise Delete. 99.232.105.15 (talk) 22:33, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached. The two comments had not been copied across, so I've added them and re-listed. 


 * Delete as utterly non-notable. No deaths, no injuries and the whole thing was over in half a day. How is is encyclopaedicaly worthy? Eddie.willers (talk) 20:56, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
