Cogne homicide and Samuele Lorenzi

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

Sad, but untimately unencyclopedic. Child murders and resultant court cases are media worthy for a few weeks, but that's all. The "biography" at Samuele Lorenzi should also be treated as part of this nomination. Delete. Troikoalogo (talk) 21:47, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete both, Wikipedia is not the news. Stifle (talk) 13:11, 7 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep I have created the article and I remind everyone that this case was an headline for italian media for more then 4 years.If Cogne homicide will be deleted also Kercher case article has to be delated.There are more then 10000 hits in google for "Samuele Lorenzi" due to the impact of the case on italian society.(User:Lucifero4)
 * The argument "if x is deleted we MUST delete y" is not a valid one (see WP:OTHERSTUFF). We debate these articles here, not other ones. Reminding us that this was ongoing headlines isn't much good, can you provide evidence for that on-going significance. If you can show the importance of the case, perhaps we should keep it, and merge Lorenzi with it. There's certainly no need for a seperate biography, he's not notable outside the case.--Troikoalogo (talk) 16:07, 7 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete one or both Samuele Lorenzi is a violation of the one event rule as only being notable for the one event. Although, that is also the only thing that seems to produce any hits for me on the search engine front (GNews) with Cogne homicide not giving me anything at all.

 * Keep Cogne homicide and Redirect Samuele Lorenzi to it. A book has been published about the case and a better Google News search shows continuing news coverage over 6 years, demonstrating notability, but the victim's article should be made a redirect per WP:BIO1E.

 * Correction, actually several books have been written about the case. Phil Bridger (talk) 10:33, 9 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep and redirect, respectively. News coverage shows notability of the event. Tizio 18:34, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
