A murder victim. Er, that's it. Sad, but Wikipedia is not a memorial and this does not seem likely to make the books on notable murder cases. Guy (Help!) 22:02, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Case is a major issue in Japan, and has been profiled on many sites around the world. Sparkzilla 23:09, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep High profile.--ZayZayEM 02:21, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak because of Missing white girl syndrome; but this case is notable because Hawker was an eikaiwa teacher - cases of white girl missing in Japan are usually a) illegal b) water trade (or both).--ZayZayEM 23:51, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong keep - Very high profile case in Japan (hours of TV coverage, etc) Neier 02:14, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong keep - Very notable. MightyAtom 03:11, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

 * Keep. Yes, it's just a murder case, but the international aspect makes it very high profile. I don't feel good giving murder cases points for popularity, but it's definitely worthy of a chubby Wikipedia article. 125.205.59.205 05:21, 24 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep - Per international coverage including prominent BBC News. (AQu01rius &#149; Talk) 22:20, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
