Brendon Fearon

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Fearon is an un-notable criminal who had some short-lived notoriety for his involvement in the incident with Tony Martin (farmer), per WP:BLP1E he does not need his own article. The fact we have 'Bleak House Burglary' and 'Subsequent Events' belies that he's only really known for one thing.

The Martin article contains sufficient information about Fearon. That article should possibly be changed to be about the event, rather than Martin, but I think this can be removed regardless.

As a casual user of this site, I don't see why a page like this should be deleted. Its seems to be motivated by bias. I like reading about stuff like this and don't like it when information is deleted because someone doesn't want me to know things. 2604:2D80:6305:600:CC80:5002:CC0B:321C (talk) 10:46, 12 July 2022 (UTC) Please add new comments below this notice.

 * Delete. As nom has mentioned, anything relevant is already written or linked at the Tony Martin page. I do tend to agree all this material would be better served (if at all) as an event page, but IMHO this tragedy is unfortunately routine crime coverage which happened fifteen years ago and has no sustained coverage or long term resonance. The other article is not now up for discussion. This one is and should be deleted. BusterD (talk) 19:27, 24 July 2022 (UTC)
