 * Comment Speaking personally, and intending no disrespect to the editors of these articles or the families involved, I think I would delete most of those articles based on WP:BLP1E, WP:NOTABILITY and other concerns. I'm not suggesting this, just letting you know that your opinion is universal. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 17:01, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete - she's no longer on the front of the local papers. WP:NOT#NEWS at its finest. Will (talk) 16:40, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment,How can you insure that Will? This case could become headline news tomorrow or tonight for that matter in case of developments, this case gets covering on Sky News and many other medias. And then if it gets deleted it will be the same mess as it was with the article Murder of Maria Lauterbach.--Markoolio86 (talk) 16:49, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
