First nom was procedurally closed because it was a request to redirect, not delete. Second nom was a keep, but I think that was a weak judgement by the closer. This girls death is a tragedy by all means, but this is a case of WP:ONEEVENT. There is nothing meeting the notability requirements, aside from her being a victim of an infamous serial killer. You could cite WP:NOTMEMORIAL and WP:NOTNEWS too if you like. I almost feel bad nominating it, because she was an innocent victim, but the notability outside of the single event simply isn't there.

 * Procedural comment Normally if you disagree with the way an AfD was closed then you should take it to deletion review rather than renominate the article. However as the last AfD was over two years ago, I think a full reexamination is appropriate. I offer no opinion on the article at this point. Thryduulf (talk) 19:29, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I thought 2 years was too long to consider a DRV. I thought that revisiting the issue was a better choice. Niteshift36 (talk) 09:09, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I think renomination after a certain interval is a perfectly good alternative to deletion review, and can consider a wider range of issues. I have no problem there. DGG (talk) 08:35, 28 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep as in the last nomination. Optimale  Gu 23:24, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per ONEEVENT and redirect to the appropriate section in Ted Bundy.  While her death was certainly tragic, I dont think that constitutes to a having a wiki page. Corpx (talk) 09:07, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:ONEEVENT, while it led to a conviction, no disrespect to the victim, this wasn't a case like Jessica Lunsford. An alternative could be a merge to Ted Bundy or Ted Bundy. -SpacemanSpiff (talk) 11:26, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:ONEEVENT. This is covered quite well in the Bundy article. Wildhartlivie (talk) 00:24, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
