2014 Santa Ana kidnapping case

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Clearly doesn't meet any standards for notability, as I haven't even heard of this case before. It sounds more like local-level news coverage. It is also poorly written, with no attempt by the creator or anyone else involved to fix it whatsoever. Libertarian12111971 (talk) 18:27, 22 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep -"Clearly doesn't meet any standards for notability, as I haven't even heard of this case before" I must have missed WP:OTLHHOAN  (Only Things Libertarian12111971 Has Heard of Are Notable).  Last I heard kidnapping a girl, keeping her captive for 10 years and impregnating her is not run of the mill "local-level" stuff.... If that's a common occurrence in your community, I think you should seriously reconsider relocating., , , , , , , gazillion articles en espagnol  —Мандичка YO 😜 19:26, 22 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:PERSISTENCE and WP:NOTNEWSPAPER. Nearly all of the coverage is restricted to a couple of days when the news broke, other than a minor blip when he pleaded not guilty. Clarityfiend (talk) 20:43, 22 May 2015 (UTC)
 * yes, not guilty.... which guarantees there will be further legal proceedings. I don't think anyone could seriously suggest there will be no more news coverage. Unless, like the nominator, they're apparently neighbors with Buffalo Bill and think this is a pleasant human interest story for the local news. —Мандичка YO 😜 21:25, 22 May 2015 (UTC)

 * delete fails WP:EVENT, long term notability is not established through persistent coverage. LibStar (talk) 07:52, 30 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment - this is still receiving coverage. Arrested guy claims he and girl were "in love",, , He is going on trial.  —Мандичка YO 😜 14:35, 30 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep - Per reliable sources provided be . Subject received significant coverage from multiple non-primary reliable sources therefore meeting WP:GNG. However, as an event, it must meet WP:PERSISTENCE; due to continuing coverage of the case, that is in-depth, the event meets PERSISTENCE.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 20:35, 30 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete per NOTNEWS and what I think should be a "What Wikipedia is Not" — NOTTRUECRIME. It is a little early to talk about "persistence" in 2015 about an event which happened in 2014. Talk to me in five years... Carrite (talk) 04:33, 6 June 2015 (UTC)
