This article is about a teenaged WP:NPF who has been charged with a grisly murder and possible hate crime, but not convicted. This is one of two articles being used to showcase the prejudicial material being leaked to the press of alleged racist remarks by this suspect. I am also filing an AfD on Murder of James Craig Anderson for the same reason.  Sharktopus  talk 02:56, 30 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep: Every statement is both well-cited and labeled as alleged, so WP:BLP does not apply, but WP:NOTCENSORED does. High profile Lynching in the United States, hate crimes and civil rights cases like this are highly notable with significant national coverage.  By the nominator's logic, we'd be deleting 2011 Norway attacks and Anders Behring Breivik as well. Toddst1 (talk) 03:04, 30 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Redirect would be OK now that James Craig Anderson has been renamed Murder of James Craig Anderson. Toddst1 (talk) 03:13, 30 August 2011 (UTC)
