 * Delete Not notable. If we are going to list all missing persons we'd have a million of these pages.Michael5046 (talk) 09:44, 1 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep - No I agree we shouldnt make articles on millions of missing people but we should do articles on notable missing people. Like this one that clearly passes WP:GNG. User Micheacl5046 have given no guideline or rational to his opinion.--BabbaQ (talk) 19:55, 2 August 2012 (UTC)
 * in these circumstances WP:EVENT trumps WP:GNG otherwise you'd be creating articles for every spike in media coverage. LibStar (talk) 22:37, 2 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete. Fails WP:EVENT, as well as the subsections WP:EFFECT (i.e. no evidence that the disappearance has resulted in different laws or missing persons procedures), WP:GEOSCOPE (i.e. very few reports outside of the local area of interest), WP:INDEPTH (i.e. no coverage in books, major news magazines, or TV news specialty shows), WP:PERSISTENCE (i.e. only one or two very brief news spikes), and possibly WP:DIVERSE (i.e. no significant national or international coverage). Sad to say, the couple's conviction on theft charges was barely reported which demonstrates how little of consequence or interest this disappearance is/was.

 * very well said Location. LibStar (talk) 03:40, 3 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Every !vote doesn't need your stamp of approval or disapproval Libstar.--BabbaQ (talk) 09:42, 3 August 2012 (UTC)
 * and have you ever engaged in such behavior yourself? LibStar (talk) 09:59, 3 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Two wrongs doesn't make it right.--BabbaQ (talk) 10:44, 3 August 2012 (UTC)
 * And actually I can honestly say that I have never engaged in such behavior to the extent that you do on a daily basis.--BabbaQ (talk) 10:45, 3 August 2012 (UTC)

really? Articles for deletion/Disappearance of Joanna Yeates LibStar (talk) 11:44, 3 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I said daily basis you do what I did there on a daily basis on several AfDs. Secondly that article became a FA-status article. While you said it should be deleted based on that it wasn't notable what so ever at that time. So I would say I was entitled to fight for that article in that particular case.--BabbaQ (talk) 17:16, 3 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Anyhow this is irrelevant to this AfD discussion and I am not taking anymore of my time to discuss it with you. So bye.--BabbaQ (talk) 18:47, 3 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Delete - On the basis of not news. This is a "mysterious disappearance of kids" story with routine coverage. Not an encyclopedia-worthy topic, tragic though it is, no lasting judicial or sociological impact. Carrite (talk) 04:24, 8 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete per Location. --BDD (talk) 20:31, 8 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete per Location, Carrite, and BDD; they said it all. Bearian (talk) 23:57, 8 August 2012 (UTC)
