Death of Deriek Wayne Crouse

 * – ( View AfD View log )

After two months and a week it's time to re-evaluate whether this minor double suicide/cop killing has any encyclopedic value (which I strongly doubt). SpeakFree (talk)(contribs) 21:23, 15 February 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete. This is not an encyclopedic topic, because Wikipedia is not the newspaper.  This is not the death of Lech Kaczyński or of other people whose deaths were of lasting historical import.  Nyttend (talk) 01:33, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep - Has recieved and achieved enough coverage to go beyond WP:ONEEVENT and WP:CRIME and it also passes WP:GNG. And yes Wikipedia is not a newspaper but it certainly covers news in its articles, and this was major news when it happened and as with most things coverage about it slows down with time.--BabbaQ (talk) 15:38, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep - Per BabbaQ. Tiptoety  talk 04:13, 21 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Keep or Merge I believe that this event should be kept on Wikipedia in some form, be it in a list or in its own article.  It received substantial coverage nationwide.--Jax 0677 (talk) 17:28, 24 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep It received substantial national news coverage and was not relegated to a back page story. Bob305 (talk) 04:43, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
