 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
 * Delete I would say "redirect" to United_States_v._Eichman but in fact I cannot find Blalock's name in the text of the ruling, which is linked from that page. (The link on this page is dead.) LaMona (talk) 03:13, 14 December 2014 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Dusti*Let's talk!* 04:05, 16 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete – and redirect to United States v. Eichman. I agree that Blalock doesn't meet the criteria for a separate article, even under WP:ONEEVENT. There were many cases of flag burning and court cases around that time and he was one of a number of people in the cases. The problem is that United States v. Eichman doesn't mention him either, because it doesn't have a Background section. If necessary I will volunteer to write that section. There is enough material. For example here is an AP story, and here is a book with the statement of the three four protesters on the day when they were arrested. – Margin1522 (talk) 07:22, 20 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment I am happy with Margin1522's suggestion. Boleyn (talk) 17:21, 20 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment – I have added the Background section to United States v. Eichman. I think it should be OK to redirect now. – Margin1522 (talk) 02:53, 21 December 2014 (UTC)
