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

While the story behind this is very sad, this is a classic case of WP:ONEVENT, the person in question only being notable for having been murdered. Passportguy (talk) 21:57, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - no notability save for his murder. Bigdaddy1981 (talk) 22:57, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Cleanup and then possibly Merge+Redirect if an appropriate page to merge into can be found, or Keep or Move/Rename otherwise. The article as it stands is unsourced and may contain material that is not verifiable in reliable sources.  But a google news search shows:  demonstrates that this person's murder, and some other related facts, such as his memorial, is clearly WP:Verifiable in realiable sources.  As such, it belongs on wikipedia somewhere.  ONEEVENT would recommend covering the event, not the person, but would not recommend deleting the material.  In the absence of recommending a merge/redirect, I would rather see this article reduced to a stub and left be or move/renamed to a page about the event.  Cazort (talk) 00:04, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - see Articles for deletion/Todd Ray Wilson for the AfD on other Missionary killed in this this event. Shouldn't these two AfD's be handled together? -- 208.81.184.4 (talk) 15:07, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per nominator, there is no real notability here. There is some possibility that some of this information could be used for a broader article about LDS missionaries, violence against them, or something more general - but then again, nothing currently in the article is sourced.  In any event, the article as it stands should be deleted. Shereth 15:39, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I agree, the material as it stands is not really salvageable and I think little would be lost by deleting it. Cazort (talk) 15:05, 29 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment perhaps some of it could be salvaged into an article on the attack itself, if it can be demonstrated that that has recieved sufficient coverage. Passportguy (talk) 07:01, 30 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete. Tragic, but a single event doesn't bestow notability on everyone involved. Niteshift36 (talk) 06:08, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
