 * Delete per nom. No lasting impact except to those involved. The viciousness of the would-be killer is exceeded only by his sheer incompetence. Clarityfiend (talk) 03:39, 15 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete out of consideration for Ms Lewandowska, per the spirit of WP:BLP. She's a private person and this event was wholly negative and horrific rather than an accomplishment, and it's reasonable to presume that she'd just as soon that general knowledge of this fade into the historical background as the years and decades pass. If the article remains it'll quite possibly live in Wikipedia mirrors and whatever form the Wikipedia database evolves into for decades at least. The notability of the event, which is not historically significant, is outweighed by the cost to Ms Lewandowska. (It is true that we have many very similar articles about actual murders, but in that case the victim is dead and that makes a big difference.) Herostratus (talk) 03:49, 15 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete It would be nice if Luciferwildcat would learn that it is poor practice to attempt to simply turn any headline about a crime into a WP article. Thousands of people are murdered worldwide every days, and probably tens of thousands are victims of attempted murder.  This one made headlines because of the brutal nature of the attempted killing, not because it has any lasting importance.  And I agree with Heorstratus--this perpetuates the harm done to the victim.  This idea that all we have to do is call the article "Attempted murder of Person X" instead of "Person X" to avoid WP:BLP1E is ridiculous.  Qwyrxian (talk) 04:13, 15 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Snow Delete. Let's avoid compounding the BLP issues caused by the existence of this article, in violation of notability and blp policies, by having it snow-deleted post-haste.--Epeefleche (talk) 06:28, 15 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:VICTIM. --AJHingston (talk) 09:17, 15 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete: an attempted murder, one of thousands in the world every day though attracting temporary notoriety by its unusual technique, and neither the criminal nor his victim have any encyclopedic value. Pam  D  09:42, 15 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete: Per WP:NOTNEWS. SL93 (talk) 19:01, 15 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep, this doesn't harm anyone, it is an extremely unique murder attempt and escape and the notability of this murder is here. The comments about some of the involved parties should be disregarded as the article is about the case not the buried alive girl.LuciferWildCat (talk) 23:22, 15 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete and Snow close - there is precisely zero notability here and regardless of what the article is titled there are still WP:BLP issues. - The Bushranger One ping only 01:19, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete no lasting significance to this crime demonstrated or even suggested fails our inclusion criteria Mt  king  (edits)  01:56, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete- Per WP:VICTIM, this person only notable as a victim of a crime. No notability otherwise. Northamerica1000 (talk) 05:36, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
