 * Delete A local murder case with no lasting notability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 22:01, 15 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:EVENTCRIT. A case where local police failed and evidence was mishandled didn't give it impact, significance, wasn't widely covered, and is only a routine news story.  --Mysterytrey 23:25, 15 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep Correct me if I am wrong, but Wikipedia always keeps Mayfield murders solved via the efforts of British journalists.  This story was being reported in Australia in 2004.  Again from Australia, now in 2009, we learn, "Susan Galbreath was invited to go to Frankfort by the State’s Attorney General. There, she was formally presented with the first KBI’s Outstanding Citizen Award for her services to justice on the Jessica Currin murder case."  The source in the article is BBC dated 2013.  Local?  No long-lasting effects?  Maybe if the delete !votes were to show their work in which searches failed to find sources elsewhere than Mayfield, we'd have some understanding of the viewpoint.

 * "but Wikipedia always keeps Mayfield murders solved via the efforts of British journalists" Care to show where this is true? In a policy? This is just another rape/murder case.  Lugnuts  Dick Laurent is dead 18:24, 16 March 2014 (UTC)
 * If Wikipedia doesn't always keep Mayfield murders solved via the efforts of British journalists, you can disprove this by finding a counter-example. You are trying to shift the burden of evidence because you have nothing to show.  The burden of WP:AGF is on you WP:BEFORE you start a community process.  Where are your search examples that show what you found?  I also suggest that you stop using WP:NOTNEWS and instead use WP:NOTNEWSPAPER.  Unscintillating (talk) 19:45, 16 March 2014 (UTC)
 * For an always claim to have any validity, someone would have to show 1 case where it has happened. I have seen no such case presented.John Pack Lambert (talk) 21:02, 16 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes, so per John, show us all this precedent for Mayfield murder cases. Oh wait, there isn't one. Next.  Lugnuts  Dick Laurent is dead 07:43, 17 March 2014 (UTC)
 * John's rebuttal makes an interesting logical point, while your reply seeks to shift the burden of evidence. And your reply is in denial that there is a kernel of truth to what I have said, in that a British journalist getting involved in a middle-America murder is out of the ordinary.  Unscintillating (talk) 05:30, 18 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Again, show us this consensus that you speak of for Mayfield murder cases. It's a simple request to back-up your (currently) incorrect claim.  Lugnuts  Dick Laurent is dead 08:03, 18 March 2014 (UTC)
