Bobby Äikiä

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

A minor murder victim from Sweden, notable for only one event. It's possible the murder is notable (though it looks like news to me, rather than worthy of encyclopedic coverage) but the victim certainly isn't. J Milburn (talk) 13:23, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:BIO1E, WP:NOT and WP:N/CA. JohnCD (talk) 17:48, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment BIO1E doesn't apply since the article is about the event and not a biography. The article clearly isn't news and whether it's a notable criminal act is something only Swedish people can really say. I'd prefer to see some Swedish editors before a decision is taken here. - Mgm|(talk) 08:27, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I cited WP:BIO1E because of the article's title: if it is kept because the crime is considered encyclopedically notable, I guess it should be retitled "Murder of... " JohnCD (talk) 11:23, 17 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep - highly publicised criminal case with many turns. Definitely the criminal case of the year (and possibly a few years around) in Sweden. However, the Swedish Wikipedia version sv:Fallet Bobby - "Case Bobby" - is on the case rather than the boy. Perhaps it fulfills notability criteria more clearly if the same is done here, which doesn't look too difficult to do. Tomas e (talk) 14:27, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment: The move to Bobby murder by MarkusBJoke looks good in my eyes, and should make it more clear which the relevant notability criteria are. Tomas e (talk) 10:21, 22 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep per tomas e. And the fact that it is one of the most talked about crimes in swedish history.--Judo112 (talk) 15:41, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep just because this is a swedish crime and not an american crime doesnt mean that Bobby is less notable than let say Shanda Sharer or Melissa Huckaby etc etc.. Their are some work to do but that can be fixed this is not a delete worthy article by far.--MarkusBJoke (talk) 15:44, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
