Death of Louis Santos

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable event -- any relevance to e.g. Schwarzenegger can be dealt with in alternate articles... Nomoskedasticity (talk) 18:00, 14 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment thanks for informing me of the AFD. Think this may be notable as coverage in NYTimes and LATimes about the controversy regarding the commutation, but not sure so not voting at the present.Atlantic306 (talk) 19:03, 14 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep [Article's author] per WP:SIGCOV, WP:SUSTAINED, and WP:RS. Non-notable event??? Thousands of RSs by Googling Louis Santo Esteban Núñez Arnold Schwarzenegger Fabian Núñez. [The "Find Sources" above is misleading because it searches only "Death of Louis Santos" with quotations] This event is well documented since 2008, until most recently in April 2016, when Núñez was released from prison. Even Snoop Dogg blasts Arnold Schwarzenegger as killer he freed on last day as governor of California is freed early as reported from the UK. This "non-notable event" led to Gov. Brown signing a new California clemency law inspired by the death of Louis Santos. Even an RS piece questioned if Fabian Núñez's involvement (because of the Santos killing) would hurt Antonio Villaraigosa's senate run. The numerous RS articles and secondary opinion pieces about the political friendship between Fabian Núñez and Arnold Schwarzenegger more than makes this event notable; let alone the lawsuit brought on by the Santos family and the San Diego County District Attorney.

 * Keep - per good sources. Per overall coverage. Per WP:GNG.--BabbaQ (talk) 07:52, 16 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep moving to keep as the sources in the article are significant coverage in reliable sources such as New York Times and LA Times and lots of other news in the article and online- the article can be expanded with these sources. Atlantic306 (talk) 17:27, 16 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Those sources would be useful for writing about this matter in the proper context, i.e., in articles on Schwarzenegger and/or Villaraigosa. The question is whether we need a separate article.  The sources given are not mainly about the death -- they're mainly about the other protagonists.  Nomoskedasticity (talk) 13:54, 17 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Think there are enough sources for standalone notability to include the murder, commutation, controversy, change in the law, and early prison release all in one place rather than dividing it up. Atlantic306 (talk) 14:52, 19 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Agree with Atlantic306.  Kamel Tebaast  17:28, 19 October 2016 (UTC)
