Kidnapping of Amber Swartz–Garcia

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Random kidnapping that seems to have no major news or impact other than the effects on the immediate family. Yes, it received a few "still missing" news sources, but unless she turns up it's just 30 years of the same story. Primefac (talk) 13:44, 30 March 2018 (UTC)

 * comment This is an exceedingly stubby article on a case which has had a number of twists and which is the subject of a book. I'm not terribly convinced that it's notable beyond the usual "still missing" coverage, but people should not be evaluating the matter on the basis of the article text alone.

 * Strong keep – This stub article is notable on its face, and there are many online and offline references to build it out. That being said, it currently passes muster as a stub. Cheers!  18:04, 30 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Other than the local police re-opening the case (not because of new evidence, just new tech) I'm not seeing anything substantial to "build it out". Primefac (talk) 18:30, 30 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete. Sad, but there's nothing much, other than a confession decades later, that sets this crime apart from all others of its type. Clarityfiend (talk) 22:08, 30 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep. Significant WP:CONTINUEDCOVERAGE. 198919982000200220092009 201320132013 2015 2016. books - . Seems early coverage is primarily as "Amber Swartz" (and that Garcia was tacked on at some later date - per this rather in-depth piece - her father Bernie Swartz was murdered a few months prior to her birth and her mother lived with Al Garcia but did not marry him due to police pension issues) - and that this was a nationwide photograph item in 1988.Icewhiz (talk) 15:00, 3 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep - per WP:CONTINUEDCOVERAGE as presented above.BabbaQ (talk) 14:49, 6 April 2018 (UTC)
