When this article was nominated for deletion last year, I voted keep due to a small amount of coverage of this as an example of the dangers of meeting people at online dating sites. Although there was one such article recently in local media, I was wrong about notability. We have now passed the 1 year anniversary of this murder, without so much as a 1-year later article in a local paper. Coverage appears to have dried up shortly after the AfD closed as "no consensus." I see nothing beyond the tragedy of an horrific but non-notable murder. — Preceding unsigned comment added by E.M.Gregory (talk • contribs) 23:05, 27 April 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep Notability is not temporary. This topic met the requirements of our notability guidelines at the time of the last AfD discussion; it still does.  Take a look at the references.  There is significant coverage in multiple reliable sources that are independent of the subject. David in DC (talk) 13:31, 28 April 2017 (UTC)
 * User:David in DC, Dave, help me out here. I am striving to apply the standards set out in WP:CRIME and WP:NCRIME uniformly, remembering that WP:GNG is, of course, the bottom-line policy that applies to crime pages.  I can see that you are familiar with WP:EVENTCRITERIA, and I am never unwilling to be persuaded to change my opinion at AfD.  That said, would you be willing to elaborate a little on what makes this one a keeper?E.M.Gregory (talk) 15:02, 28 April 2017 (UTC)


 * Keep - The title was previously "Ingrid Lyne", right? It was renamed due to WP:NCRIME and WP:BIO1E (not to be confused with WP:BLP1E). However, the event itself ("Death of...") still meets WP:NEVENTS, particularly WP:LASTING and/or WP:COVERAGE. Reading the whole article, seems it is one of online dating incidents gone bad. Well... it's sensational, but the content still has some value. George Ho (talk) 15:16, 28 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Withdraw deletion nomination. I took a closer look, and found teh Chicago Tribune summer 2016 writing that "media outlets across the country closely followed the story of Ingrid Lyne, ..." in a story about the dangers of online dating .  Withdrawing my nomination on the grounds that the fact that national media "closely followed" the investigation as it unfolded, and that it was used even in places far form the scene of the crime as an example of the dangers of online dating make it notable.E.M.Gregory (talk) 15:50, 28 April 2017 (UTC)
