(Rightly) contested speedy. While this does have multiple sources (I'd heard of her here, 6000 miles away), so technically does pass WP:BIO, I really don't see the need to have an article on her. Not only does she fail the ten days rule, let alone the ten year rule, but nobody is going to search on her name for this story. There have already been multiple similar stories since this one, and at most, this warrants a single paragraph in Craigslist —  irides centi   (talk to me!)  16:15, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep as it passes WP:RS and WP:V. I'd suggest a rename, but I can't think of anything it could be renamed to. Ten Pound Hammer  • (((Broken clamshells • Otter chirps))) 16:19, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment It's just occurred to me that it probably horribly violates BLP as it stands, since it's presuming guilt for a case that has yet to be tried —  irides centi   (talk to me!)  16:20, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
 * CommentWhats the 10 year rule? Sounds like some sort of crystalballing. I thought once notable, always notable. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) 16:24, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
 * The 10 year rule is a guideline — not a policy — from WP:RECENT: "In 10 years time, will this seem relevant". IMO while this story undoubtedly has sources etc, it belongs on Wikinews, not here —  irides centi   (talk to me!)  18:55, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
 * WP:RECENT is not even a guideline. It's an essay.  It even states at the top very clearly "It is not a policy or guideline;it merely reflects some opinions of its authors." (bold was not added by me but used in the actual quote.)  It has the same status as Don't stuff beans up your nose which is an essay and not a guideline. --Oakshade 19:04, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep - In addition to the New York Times story, the topic is covered quite exensively by WP:RS . Meets our standards, notability is permanant, etc.. --Oakshade 16:55, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep I have heard of this in the news as well, though I agree with Iridescenti that this article needs work to follow BLP.  Needing work, though, isn't criteria for deletion.Ninja! 17:36, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Preferably Merge to Craigslist. Five bucks says she doesn't even get jail time. But I suppose it technically meets WP:N. --Dhartung | Talk 20:36, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge to craigslist. Canuckle 20:54, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete or merge. This is about a minorly newsworthy incident from the "funny story to fill space on page 37" department - not about a person at all. There is nothing to write a worthwhile biography from. This is the sort of thing WP:BLP is meant to save Wikipedia from - David Gerard 23:35, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Completely fails WP:BIO - this is not Wikinews. Orderinchaos 23:40, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete or merge without personal details to craigslist. The reference is there for people to see who she is, let's not make things worse. --Tony Sidaway 23:40, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
