 * Keep almost fails WP:CRIME, though I notice a book has been written about it, which isn't typical for murder cases. Multiple books and journal coverage; enough coverage to meet WP:CRIME. OhNo itsJamie Talk 15:51, 19 September 2012 (UTC)
 * You are mistaken, it's not one book, but two, as is clearly stated in the article. --j⚛e deckertalk 16:30, 19 September 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep Coverage in news, in multiple books, in scholarly publications, over decades.  Two books exist about the subject, at least one of which was independently written and itself has received enough coverage to almost qualify for WP:GNG.  The coverage has had lasting effects, is persistent, and has been covered from many angles and framings. This is in no way a close call. Did you follow WP:BEFORE?  --j⚛e deckertalk 16:30, 19 September 2012 (UTC)
 * (No objection to a rename to the event, however.) --j⚛e deckertalk 16:47, 19 September 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep and rename. Rivertorch (talk) 18:28, 20 September 2012 (UTC)
