individual only notable for criminal acts, article already exists on the gang rapes Thisglad (talk) 18:18, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. Well known Australian criminal. Capitalistroadster (talk) 18:47, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Merge and redirect into Sydney gang rapes. No need for a separate article, per WP:ONEEVENT. - Lilac Soul (talk • contribs • count) 19:14, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep I would normally agree with the argument raised by Lilac Soul, but in this case the "one event" (which of course was more than one event, but I understand the reference) includes a controversial trial and imprisonment. The subject is an especially notorious and much reported on prisoner. -- Mattinbgn\talk 23:24, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep -- per Mattinbgn's reasoning, I'd usually say merge, however Skaf has been the subject of many high profile incidents while incarcerated. -- Longhair\talk 23:37, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep -- per Mattinbgn's reasoning. Mark Hurd (talk) 04:10, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. Skaf is notable for more than WP:ONEEVENT. Other than the multiple rapes, there are the threats against his girlfriend and against Ron Woodham, illegal activities by his parents during contact with him etc. WWGB (talk) 06:35, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep, normally I'd wave WP:BLP1E about, but Skaf is a particularly notorious criminal who has managed to keep himself in the papers, as alluded to by WWGB and sourced in the article. Lankiveil (speak to me) 08:40, 3 March 2009 (UTC).
 * Comment It appears this is likely to be kept. If it is, then we as a project need to be vigilant in removing this sort of unacceptable content. -- Mattinbgn\talk 06:27, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
