 * Delete not everyone convicted of murder is notable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:14, 26 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete a heinous crime, but not notable by WP:NCRIME standard.E.M.Gregory (talk) 12:39, 27 June 2019 (UTC) withdraw after reading article about this case and Pattern matching in The Nation.E.M.Gregory (talk) 16:11, 27 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment, The Nation has a substantial article that concentrates on this case here, there are other reports by KKCO (here and here - could be deemed routine?), The Washington Times (here - a mention(?) but interesting that this case was specified), but is this enough?

 * Not sure. In part because despite the fact that according to The Nation (Feb. 2018) the Innocence Project was looking at this case, I see no articles about the Innocence Project getting the case reopened.  The 2013 attempt you mention (also  Denver Post, 2013: ) to overturn the verdict with DNA evidence was denied in the Washington Times article your cite.  That, plus an article  revisiting the case on the 20th anniversary, doesn't quite seem to add up to WP:PERP, although the Denver Post did cover the 1992 - 93 arrest and trial intensively.E.M.Gregory (talk) 21:19, 27 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Genuinely unsure. If this happened today, there would be commentators discussing incel, the term is new, but the tone of the notes cited by The Nation is "incel". And the Denver Post coverage really was intense.E.M.Gregory (talk) 21:47, 27 June 2019 (UTC)


 * Delete. I agree that this one is difficult, but I'm unsure that it's really possible to write an article about Genrich as a person. Genrich doesn't strike me as notable, nor does the crime he was convicted of. The related issues--reliability of forensic evidence, incels--are, and Genrich could be mentioned in those articles.
