Christina Marie Williams
The notability of this person is not established. My heart goes out to her family and her loved ones, but Wikipedia is simply not the place. Ashenai 15:37, 20 September 2005 (UTC)


 * Delete, as per above. --Ashenai 15:37, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
 * I am changing my vote to Keep. Some of the links on this page have convinced me that this particular kidnapping was notable. --Ashenai 16:09, 20 September 2005 (UTC)


 * Weak keep - if the reports of media coverage and celebrity appeals are correct, I believe that this confirms notability. However, the tone of the article needs to be addressed (use of adjective "beautiful" in image caption), and the appeal for information/suspect description details need to be removed as these are not appropriate for an encyclopedic entry.

 * Keeep National coverage, such as CNN, and others makes the events and her notable. Obviously, the article needs to be changed, though.    --rob 16:03, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete There are regrettably many kidnaps in many parts of the world. This is not more notable than most others. DJ Clayworth 16:05, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Not a valid argument for deletion - if all these kidnappings are notable, they all deserve entries. Just because they haven't been created, doesn't mean to say ones that have been created should go. Research these other notable kidnappings and create entries for them if you have objections!

 * Delete per User:DJ Clayworth Pilatus 18:05, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep as it looks like someone cleaned up the article a bit. and a quick scan of Google establishes notability, though a low level of it at that.--Isotope23 18:41, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. There's nothing especially notable about this missing person.  Thousands of people go missing each year.  Having PSA's made by Clint Eastwood does not make this article of encyclopedic value.   &mdash;thames 19:02, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep as this figure has received notable nationwide press coverage, people may want to research this further here on Wikipedia. Hall Monitor 19:08, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. WP is not a memorial.  Well, it didn't used to be a memorial, but it is becoming one.  Quale 02:02, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, significant media coverage and public response. --Vsion 04:52, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Wikipedia is not a Megan's Law website.  This was so nationally publicized that I never heard of it, and I live in California and am a news junkie.  User:Zoe|(talk) 05:27, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Reply: Well, the fact you can't remember it is totally meaningless.  It is absurd, how often articles are deleted, because somebody didn't personally remember hearing of somebody.  No one person is a repository of all notable people (or all notable people in a state of 25+ million).  We shouldn't limit an enyclopedia to the personal memory of a single person. --rob 05:44, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Justification for keeping the article is that her plight made national news and had sifnigicant media coverage. I am objecting to that justification.  User:Zoe|(talk) 00:35, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge into List of kidnappings. Deserves mention, but not its own article. PRueda29 02:29, 25 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep or merge ··gracefool |&#9786; 18:36, 25 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep Poor Christina. :( OmegaWikipedia 20:49, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
