Investigative leads

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  AfD statistics)

fails on wp:NOTDICTIONARY. General term, I don't think it can be expanded much further beyond stub. Mattg82 (talk) 16:34, 11 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment. Actually this could be made into an good article, but probably not under this name (not sure where). An article about the various types of clues left behind at a crime scene, for various types of crimes, could be interesting. See Category:Forensic evidence and Forensic science. •••Life of Riley (T–C) 00:56, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Reply to comment: Perhaps it could be merged into Crime scene ? Mattg82 (talk) 23:58, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Reply to reply. Not sure. Possibly redirect, but investigative leads could be more than just clues at the scene. For example, in case of a murder, the investigator looks for a motive, and interviews people who knew the victim. There are existing articles on Crime reconstruction, Trace evidence, and Forensic science, the latter of which has a nice infobox on various articles leading to criminal investigations. •••Life of Riley (T–C) 00:23, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.
