Detective Brad Lancaster

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Lancaster is notable for a single event (the Adrian Jones murder case). One might create an article about the case, if it led to any long term changes in policy about homeschooling, etc., but Lancaster's role in the case appears to be little more than a footnote. The articles listed as citations all cover the Jones murder, but none mention Lancaster. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 23:03, 7 March 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete - Not notable. Even the news articles don't make the claim. 73.202.53.43 (talk) 23:06, 7 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Do Not Delete - While I am still working on the article. There are several items that make this a notable case. Brad Lancaster was the first officer Killed in Kansas City since the 1980's, there are also cultural references by the Kansas City Royals, Sporting KC Soccer. This was a significant moment in the Kansas City metro in the spring of 2016. Joshsantiagokc   —Preceding  undated  comment added 23:12, 7 March 2017 (UTC)
 * delete the question is not "is he a hero" because I believe he is. The question is "should this entry be included in this encyclopedia" and at least as it is written now I do not see enough notability for inclusion.  The sources cited are local, one-event in nature.  I would not be opposed to letting the enthusiastic editor userfy the article and try again after the article is complete.  If more information is located and added to the article of course I will be happy to reconsider.--Paul McDonald (talk) 12:37, 8 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete: Perhaps Joshsantiagokc could let us know what Wikipedia notability standards the subject meets. I don't see any myself.  Notability ≠ "I think he's important."  Nha Trang  Allons! 21:11, 8 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete Lancaster is only notable for Adrian Jones murder case. This might well deserve an article, but there is no reason for an indepdent one on Lancaster.John Pack Lambert (talk) 01:19, 9 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete - non-notable person. CAPTAIN RAJU  (✉)   12:22, 14 March 2017 (UTC)
