Murder of Jennifer Daugherty

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Doesn't fall under A7 as it's about an event, not a person. However, it doesn't appear to be WP:N -Zeus-u 22:39, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

Keep One of the country's most famous coroners stated that this is one of the worst murders that he has ever seen. This has received national media coverage from The New York Times and CBS News. A murder this horrible is rare and notable. Grundle2600 (talk) 22:45, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete per WP:ONEEVENT. Dlabtot (talk) 23:03, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
 * too soon to tell The NYT rep orts it as possibly a precedent for  important new legislation about hate crimes on the basis of someone's disability.    DGG ( talk ) 00:08, 17 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete There are murders every day. Many are reported by the news media, but "WP is not news." Note also that so far no one has been convicted of murder. Steve Dufour (talk) 04:33, 17 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep - agree with DGG re: "too soon to tell". There *may* be aspects of this case that rise to WP:N, depending on how it is prosecuted and reported. I'd like to revisit in a couple of months. Ronnotel (talk) 13:14, 17 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I was under the impression that "too soon to tell" means "delete and recreate later if it becomes notable"... also per Onion. -Zeus-u 14:20, 17 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Userfy or delete per WP:NOTNEWS and WP:CRYSTALBALL. Grundle2600 identifies the presence of significant coverage.  But "too soon to tell if notable" is the spirit of "WP is not a crystal ball." --A More Perfect Onion (talk) 14:15, 17 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak keep or userfy per DGG et al. Bearian (talk) 21:41, 17 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep - Unusual enough, and plenty of coverage. - Peregrine Fisher (talk) 08:14, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
