Chloe Ayling

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Article about a model who was kidnapped after being lured to Italy on the pretence of work, then held captive while an attempt was made to auction her on the dark web. The case has received much media coverage in recent days, and the subject had some limited notability before that. The article was created early today and quickly tagged with a WP:PROD. I'm nominating it for afd because I feel a wider discussion would be beneficial in this case. I'm quite neutral on whether or not this should be deleted. While the case is unusual and possibly notable, it's one of those occasions when the story is still developing as it is currently the matter of a criminal investigation.

 * Question - would this article be more suitable for Wikinews? Vorbee (talk) 18:38, 8 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Quite possibly, the story has received some international attention, from outlets such as CNN and News.com.au. This is Paul (talk) 18:51, 8 August 2017 (UTC)


 * In Italy for a few days Chloe Ayling's story was in any newspaper and newscast, but I don't know in a few weeks somebody will remind it.--Pampuco (talk) 20:11, 8 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete, per WP:ONEEVENT. CambodianSandwich (talk) 14:34, 11 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:BLP1E. This is still getting coverage in the UK, particularly in the tabloids, but I do not see any indication that the event is of lasting importance, and I don't believe she is notable as a model.--Pawnkingthree (talk) 18:43, 11 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia is not a newspaper and this might be more suitable for Wikinews than Wikipedia. Vorbee (talk) 19:22, 11 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete Who even is she?
 * Delete immediately please Can someone 'snow' close this asap. Fucking state of it. --Hillbillyholiday talk 16:29, 13 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:BLP1E. This is supposed to be an encyclopaedia, not the Daily Star. 2A00:23C1:8250:6F01:3C6F:57F8:670B:5686 (talk) 19:30, 13 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete. No indication that this fraud has lasting significance. 82.132.220.236 (talk) 18:48, 14 August 2017 (UTC)
