Death of Shaylee Mejia

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

No evidence of sustained in-depth coverage; all local coverage from March; lead includes a weaseled potential BLP violation that this girl's death has been "widely attributed" to a fight she had at school. Zanahary (talk) 07:16, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

 * Delete. Seems a clear WP:BLP1E situation. Reliable sources only cover her in the context of a single event, she is a low-profile individual, and the event itself is not significant (although it is of course very sad). WP:NOTNEWS also relevant, I think. Chocmilk03 (talk) 08:07, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
 * I don't really get your argument here. If it's an event based article it can't really be a BLP1E issue? But this definitely doesn't pass NEVENT either and should be deleted on those grounds. PARAKANYAA (talk) 19:29, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I guess it's not technically a bio but about the event of her murder? The line is maybe a little blurry in the case of an article that is solely about the death of a single person. But agree, WP:NEVENT doesn't seem to be met either. There's no deadline, but there's also no evidence of continued coverage since the event or that this event will have any sustained significance.

 * Delete: I can only find a half-dozen articles in Gnews about the event happening from the time it did, then nothing. Another non-notable death with no lasting consequences, NOTNEWS. Oaktree b (talk) 12:17, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep: The incident which could be a potential murder/manslaughter case is already gaining significant coverage in the entire country, not just from local news. There will likely be bigger matters and legal proceedings concerning the death, which if you thoroughly investigate the details you will find some connection between the bullying and violence that the victim endured.

 * That's the article's author btw Zanahary (talk) 23:12, 30 May 2024 (UTC)


 * Delete too much innuendo and no sustained coverage. Walsh90210 (talk) 21:48, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
