 * Delete - notability has not been established in my opinion. Author has formulated his own criteria for making it notable. Lacks references.Jlrobertson (talk) 15:43, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep Some reasons why Daniel Malakov should not be deleted:Today the number of Google hits for "Daniel Malakov" (in quotes) is more than 32,000. The significance of his murder is borne out by the many, many secondary sources.  Many newspaper articles could be added to the list of references.  It is not the murder, per se, but the circumstances surrounding it that are notable.  Whereas his murder is the unique event establishing the Notability of Daniel Malakov, the same is true for other murder victims, such as Kitty Genovese (for whom, name-in-quotes, there are 54,000 Google hits today).  The circumstances are Notable.  The man himself is made Notable by being central to the circumstances (i.e., being the victim). -- Distaffperp (talk) 18:57, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
 * The article has 2 sources; a blog entry and a tabloid article; so encyclopedic notability has not been shown for a biographical article, or for the event and trail - please read wp:TABLOID. -- Jeandré, 2009-04-14t12:30z
 * Those are two among scores of Newspaper articles. The page needs additional work to incorporate all the references.  Deleting it means that work will not get done.206.53.153.99 (talk) 04:49, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete--while there are plenty of hits, on Google and in the NY newspapers, this is one single event with no verifiable meaning beyond the event itself. Distaffperp may claim that circumstances or context confer notability, but I don't see that in the article or in the sources. Nominator is correct in invoking WP:Tabloid.
