George Zimmerman

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Just as with Trayvon Martin, this article should be deleted per WP:ONEEVENT. He is only notable for the shooting, and any details pertaining to that should be kept at that article. This and the Trayvon Martin article are new spin-offs of the shooting article. There was consensus that both subjects not have their own articles. Let's reinstate the former status quo.

 * Keep When the article was written, Zimmerman was only known for this case and therefore no separate article was required. However the case has made him notable and he is subject to ongoing media coverage about his rescue of accident victims, his divorce, his visit to a gun factory, the police visit to his house, none of which are relevant to the trial article, unless secondary sources connect them.
