Christopher J. Dumler Rape Scandal

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Exquisitely sourced article about a rape case involving the "Scottsville District representative to the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors". In case someone is wondering, that's in Virginia. WP:NOT applies quite nicely here, as does WP:BLP1E, not to mention this would merit nothing more than a paragraph in the bio of the person involved, were that bio to actually exist. It doesn't, which is another indication this doesn't belong on Wikipedia at all. This isn't even a national news story, which is the argument used routinely to keep articles about shootings or accidents. It's a coatrack and the largest case of WP:UNDUE I've seen. § FreeRangeFrog croak 19:21, 16 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete, a ridiculous WP:COATRACK and seriously lacking in notability in any meaningful sense. Note also the previous AfD on the individual.  Nomoskedasticity (talk) 19:29, 16 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete, A nasty, vindictive piece of work, which brings shame on the whole of Wikipedia. I can see nothing worthwhile in the whole page.  Kiltpin (talk) 19:44, 16 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete Of doubtful notability to me when I reviewed this new article, so I am pleased to see this AfD. --DThomsen8 (talk) 20:14, 16 March 2013 (UTC)
 * I have tagged this as an attack page. I'm not perfectly familiar with this area of policy at the moment, otherwise I'd delete it immediately myself. Espresso Addict (talk) 20:53, 16 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment A G10 is a stub along the lines of "XYZ is a poo-poo head". This is not that, although the ultimate purpose might be the same. We assume that the creator of the article (who has invested a lot of time in crafting this) feels this merits inclusion in the encyclopedia, and the AFD discussion serves as a clear, unambiguous policy-based reasoning as to why it does not. § FreeRangeFrog croak 21:25, 16 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Comment As I see it, the attack criterion says "This includes libel, legal threats, material intended purely to harass or intimidate a person or an article about a living person that is entirely negative in tone and unsourced." The article is sourced, and probably not libel, but could well be "material intended purely to harass or intimidate a person". Negative stuff may be posted (when reliably sourced) about people who are notable enough for an article, but here we may well come into WP:BLP1E territory. I'm not sticking my neck out for a speedy, but would not object to a delete here under coatrack or undue - or even BLP1E. Peridon (talk) 21:13, 16 March 2013 (UTC)
 * This will surely be closed early as WP:SNOW; that's a better outcome than a speedy, as it makes any future re-creations easier to deal with. Nomoskedasticity (talk) 21:16, 16 March 2013 (UTC)

Delete. This is highly slanted against the subject, non-notable, and should be deleted ASAP. Ducknish (talk) 22:50, 16 March 2013 (UTC)
