Murder of Alex Rodda

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Very sad, but there are a lot of murders worldwide every year and the encyclopedia does not need an article on each one. No indication that this tragic event is of any lasting encyclopedic significance, though obviously life-changing for the victim and perpetrator and their families. Pam D  14:42, 6 May 2021 (UTC)

 * Comment The closing admin (and ) should note the curious edit history of this AfD, where a very new editor has removed the !vote of another very new editor, and an IP has since edited other editors' !votes and signatures. Not a pretty sight. Too complicated to try to unpick, short of rolling back all recent edits. Pam  D  09:34, 7 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete I could only find routine coverage of the case - the same coverage every case gets. Dougal18 (talk) 12:29, 7 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:MURDER and WP:PERSISTENCE. The amount of coverage a case receives initially does not necessarily determine its notability – it's continued coverage that matters here, and I see no news on it past January, when the verdict was made. (Also, keep in mind that while you created the article, you don't own it.)  Bsoyka  ( talk  &middot;  contribs ) 18:48, 7 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment: To add onto what PamD mentioned, I definitely suspect sockpuppetry of some kind with these three brand-new accounts and have opened an investigation, and the page history is just a mess now.

 * Delete, does not meet WP:EVENT, ie. no lasting major consequences, affect to a large geographical area, nor significant non-routine coverage over a period of time. Coolabahapple (talk) 02:07, 9 May 2021 (UTC)
