Disappearance of Jack Stein

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

Article created by an editor with a (declared) COI. While there was a burst of coverage around Stein's disappearance, there has been virtually nothing since and no indication this is a notable missing person situation. I do not see that this meets the bar for an article. Star  Mississippi  21:27, 4 January 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete. There is no showing that the missing person is notable, and little widespread publicity about the disappearance. Kablammo (talk) 21:49, 9 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete. We really need to hash out a specific higher threshold for crime/disappearance articles, because while they inevitably create a little burst of news coverage when they happen (if it bleeds, it leads), they almost never have any lasting coverage or impact. The subject here is, for better or worse, a routine disappearance. Since we are not a news site, we should not be covering it. &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 23:24, 11 January 2022 (UTC)
