Delete per WP:NOT and Notability (events). Euto's death is tragic but her murder isn't notable....William 02:17, 13 March 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete—Other than the AMW coverage, which is not a huge notability indicator IMO, the coverage is all local. This crime seems to fail every single test of WP:EVENT.  Sad, but not particularly notable.  Liv it ⇑ Eh?/What? 15:27, 13 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep - meets WP:GNG and WP:CRIME.--BabbaQ (talk) 15:33, 13 March 2012 (UTC)
 * WP:CRIME applies to people not to events; this is an event. WP:N/CA is the relevant policy; sadly it's not a very useful policy. --Colapeninsula (talk) 16:38, 13 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Comment Could some people citing Notability (events) explain which part of that policy they're basing their decision upon. The policy is (perhaps of necessity) vague and has many sections and guidelines.  This murder would seem to pass "Diversity of sources" (we have chat shows, newspapers, America's Most Wanted); "Duration of coverage" and "Depth of coverage" may be present; "Lasting effects" and "Geographical scope" are not so obviously satisfied. --Colapeninsula (talk) 16:46, 13 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * delete fails WP:EVENT. WP:GNG does not apply here as murders usually get spikes of coverage. No long term effect of murder. LibStar (talk) 13:23, 20 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep maybe the national coverage it received after the event makes it notable, particularly as it was some years later, but it's a borderline case. That it remains unsolved a decade later is also worth considering. Paul MacDermott (talk) 12:54, 24 March 2012 (UTC)
