Murder of Bambi Larson

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non notable single murder. No reason to expect continuing interest. This clearly falls under WP:NOTNEWS.  DGG ( talk ) 21:11, 21 April 2019 (UTC)

The move to modify the county’s policy came in the wake of the brutal killing of 59 year-old Bambi Larson in her South San Jose home in February, allegedly by an undocumented immigrant wanted by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Local law enforcement leaders proposed an amendment to the policy that would allow notification in cases where an undocumented immigrant who had committed crimes of violence or other serious offenses was about to be freed. County police leaders and the District Attorney have already drafted language for such a change. Santa Clara County’s policy is stricter than state law, which bars law enforcement officials from aiding ICE by detaining undocumented immigrants but allows notification about inmates’ release. A majority of speakers at Tuesday’s meeting, however, appeared to oppose any alteration to a policy they see as a beacon for other counties.
 * Strong Keep (as the article's creator) The notability of this murder is in the public debate that it has started concerning sanctuary city policy, similar to the notability of the Shooting of Kate Steinle case. THIS WAS STATED IN MY CREATION AND EDIT NOTES. Santa Clara County just had a public meeting about revising their policy, specifically because of this murder.
 * It was covered in the New York Times, and this is a continuing story; the county supervisors will be re-meeting in 60 days.
 * Additionally, I'd like to note that this article appears to be of interest to almost 1000 people in the barely over 30 days it has existed. --- Avatar317 (talk) 04:52, 22 April 2019 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Delete Just seems like a random murder and doesn't rise above that. Per WP:NOTNEWS.Harizotoh9 (talk) 03:05, 28 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete Yet another WP:NOTNEWS story being used to advance a political talking point with WP:MEMORIAL and WP:BLP issues going on to boot (also, don't use nicknames like 'Bambi' in these articles; subjects have proper names which should be used). Let the deceased rest in peace, please.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 03:24, 28 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete Wikipedia is not a newspaper and even if the Sanctuary City policy did change, that’s a separate thing. Trillfendi (talk) 13:19, 28 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete The article is only here to advance a political agenda. It did not change the policy so the aftermath argument does not make sense and even if it had it still wouldn't meet the criteria for notability. Kate Steinle's case – as cited above by the original author – is only on Wikipedia because politicians made it into a significant event including a proposed federal law. The topic at a regular government meeting in Santa Clara county isn't to the same level of notability snood1205(Say Hi! (talk)) 15:28, 28 April 2019 (UTC)

 * Comment/reply (@) OK, so looking at the Kate Steinle article history and article growth during the first month after the event occurred, I will concede that this event (Bambi Larson) did not generate anywhere near the amount of attention in the American right-wing press that occurred in the month after Kate Steinle was shot, and the US Congress didn't partially pass any legislation because of it. (Maybe more old news on the same topic?, and defunding of sanctuary cities has already been tried, so now this subject is old?) I guess it is clear that my prediction about this event is wrong.


 * So would this be a suitable article for Wikinews ?  I like that articles in Wikipedia give a complete overview and understanding of an event, whereas a single news article generally spends all the article on new developments, and only one paragraph giving background to what the current news pertains to.  (Yes, this article would likely only be of interest to people in Santa Clara County and the Bay Area, and others interested in sanctuary city policies.) --- Avatar317 (talk) 17:36, 30 April 2019 (UTC)
