Jeffrey Gilham

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

Person notable for one event. Also violates Wikipedia is not a newspaper. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 12:28, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete- Media coverage only due to his crime. WP:NOTNEWS. PirateSmackK (talk) 17:36, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep There is sufficient coverage for verifiability.  WP:BLP states"If the event is significant, and/or if the individual's role within it is substantial, a separate article for the person may be appropriate. Individuals notable for well-documented events [...] fit into this category."  This is certainly well documented; look at all the sources.  This is a well written article and I see no reason to delete it.   —  Jake   Wartenberg  18:40, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment The key portion of your WP:BLP extract is "if the event is significant". Mr. Gilham is accused of mudering his parents.  While this story may be tragic, and such tragedies often inspire a great deal of press at the time, it is hardly significant on a global scale (or should we start adding articles about ALL patricides?).

 * Why not, if there is sufficient press coverage? You may have ignored the last bit there, "Individuals notable for well-documented events [...] fit into this category."  —  Jake   Wartenberg  23:09, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete, textbook case of WP:BLP1E. While this event was undoubtedly significant to the victims' family and friends, it's not significant enough in the grand scheme of things to justify a separate article.  Lankiveil (speak to me) 06:38, 24 April 2009 (UTC).
 * Move and re-work into an article such as Gilham family murders, consistent with current practice to reflect the event and not the individual. WWGB (talk) 06:04, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep but move per WWGB. Good idea. Lonelygirl16 (talk) 10:11, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per BLP1E and NOT#NEWS. Jake misunderstands the section of BLP he's quoted. An example of a significant event is a presidential assassination. A kid killing his parents is not what is meant there. لenna  vecia  03:36, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
