Karen Aim murder

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Seems to fail WP:NEVENT. Not the subject of significant worldwide coverage, no evidence of lasting historical impact, and none of those involved are themselves notable. Nothing that makes this crime significant beyond the norm. Ducknish (talk) 20:23, 26 March 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete as lacking in-depth coverage. For a comparable crime that did get the coverage, see Bailey Junior Kurariki. Stuartyeates (talk) 00:47, 27 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Trial of Xiao Zhen is another recent NZ murder which got lots of coverage for a different reason. Stuartyeates (talk) 00:26, 28 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Delete as it didn't get significant media coverage.  Schwede 66  17:26, 27 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Maybe Keep as is still getting media coverage in UK and NZ, most recently as 2012 in the UK Guardian and 2013 in NZ Herald and Otago Daily Times. True that it was not as significant as Stuart's example. NealeFamily (talk) 22:49, 27 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete, for reasons given by Ducknish. Was interested to see that an IP edited the article to describe the boy as Maori. It is the only edit the IP has made to Wikipedia. Moriori (talk) 21:51, 28 March 2013 (UTC)
