The result was merge to Murder of XXXTentacion. Consensus was that a merge to the article documenting the murder is appropriate. No one asserted that the subject is notable apart from the murder, which gives the WP:PERP argument added strength. Xymmax So let it be written   So let it be done  02:27, 13 April 2023 (UTC)

Outside of the crime, zero notability. Was redirected to Killing of XXXTentacion as per WP:PERP, but the redirect was challenged without improvement. WP:BIO1E would also apply.  Onel 5969  TT me 15:53, 21 March 2023 (UTC)

 * Oppose WP:PERP and WP:BIO1E both contradict your claim. Under WP:BIO1E, "If the event is highly significant, and the individual's role within it is a large one, a separate article is generally appropriate," and WP:PERP states that perp articles are appropriate when: "The victim of the crime is a renowned national or international figure, including, but not limited to, politicians or celebrities." The article passes both of these guidelines. TheXuitts (talk) 17:01, 21 March 2023 (UTC)
 * The portion of WP:PERP that you're quoting is only applicable when there is no other existing article that could cover all of the encyclopedic information on the subject. That threshold isn't met in this case, because Murder of XXXTentacion exists. ModernDayTrilobite (talk • contribs) 20:00, 10 April 2023 (UTC)

 * Oppose: per TheXuitts. SimonLagann (talk) 18:23, 7 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Merge into Murder of XXXTentacion per nom. Murder of XXXTentacion can incorporate all of the encyclopedic information pertaining to this individual, and so WP:PERP advises that he does not need a separate article. ModernDayTrilobite (talk • contribs) 20:00, 10 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Merge XXXTentacion is not JFK or MLK Jr, his murderers don't warrant separate articles, BIO1E. Hemiauchenia (talk) 11:02, 12 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Merge per Hemiauchenia. Best, GPL93 (talk) 11:22, 12 April 2023 (UTC)
