The result was   Keep (non-admin closure). The case seems important for the interpretation of the Oregon's law on shoplifting. Ruslik (talk) 08:18, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

Gustafson v. Payless

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

This article deals with a non-notable court case over a minor charge. The article's "facts" are written in a very pro-plaintiff POV and a NPOV version of the article is unlikely to be written as the case was not an influential one.

 * Keep. Cases decided by the Oregon Supreme Court are automatically notable due to its effect on Oregon law. No problem with the deletion of huge chunks of the article that violate WP:NPOV. -- brew crewer  (yada, yada) 01:06, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep -- on the assumption that this is a case that is regarded as a significant precedent for the interpretation of Oregon state law on theft. I do not accept that all cases reaching the highest court of a nation or state are necessarily notable.  Notability is probably best established by cases being cited regularly as a precedent in later cases.  Being in England, I am not qulaified to judge the importance of the case.
