Joe Remiro

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Seems to be a non-notable criminal, per WP:CRIME and all content in the article can be gone over in the Symbionese Liberation Army article. MB298 (talk) 02:48, 5 November 2015 (UTC)

For perpetrators "The victim of the crime is a renowned national or international figure, including, but not limited to, politicians or celebrities." - Dr Marcus Foster and (by association with SLA) Patty Hearst - "swap" proposed for Hearst with Remiro and Little. "The motivation for the crime or the execution of the crime is unusual—or has otherwise been considered noteworthy—such that it is a well-documented historic event. Generally, historic significance is indicated by sustained coverage of the event in reliable secondary sources which persists beyond contemporaneous news coverage and devotes significant attention to the individual's role." - Hard not to call this motivation "unusual". Definitely "noteworthy" - copious newspaper articles throughout the 70s but continuing. Several documentaries. Number of books written on the subject, one exclusively on Remiro. Please see updated references (still more improvements could be done by other members of the community.) This article focuses on the unique background of Remiro to help provide a fuller picture of this important historical event. Can't all be added to Marcus Foster or Symbionese Liberation Army.Emihemi (talk) 12:30, 7 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Marcus Foster, for now. (I have no strong objections to redirecting to Symbionese Liberation Army, but I think this would be the better target.) Marcus Foster is likely independently notable, and there is enough reliable secondary source coverage of the circumstances surround his murder (i.e. the capture of Remiro and Little, trial, conviction, sentencing, etc) that Murder of Marcus Foster would pass WP:EVENT (e.g. ). If this article survives, the crap sourcing will need to be cleaned-up. - Location (talk) 03:51, 5 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep. Valid, sourced, notable person/issue. per WP:GNG.--BabbaQ (talk) 11:26, 6 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Nominator comment. I support a redirect to either Marcus Foster or Symbionese Liberation Army. MB298 (talk) 00:44, 7 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep. This article meets WP:Crime requirements:
 * Keep. Historically important figure. The SLA was a major participant  in political culture of the period (for cultural & political reasons much greater than its actual deeds), and its actions and the major figures involved will remain of permanent historical importance  DGG ( talk ) 01:00, 8 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep notorious crime, notorious criminal, notable radical activist.E.M.Gregory (talk) 22:09, 8 November 2015 (UTC)
