Article about a "hacker" who allegedly received attention in the media because he posted a video of a murder on his website. While the murder case is notable and received considerable international attention, this ends up being a clear case of WP:BLP1E since the subject does not seem to be notable beyond that single event. The video was also posted in many websites, which further dilutes the claims to notability - notwithstanding a chart showing traffic to his website and claims of being involved with Anonymous. § FreeRangeFrog croak 04:49, 28 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete. I was going to suggest a brief mention in the overall Luka Magnotta page, but the big thing is that he's not the only website to post a copy of the video on their website. Lots of websites did. Should we post a list of every website that has been mentioned as uploading it? No, of course not. Bestgore.com got in the media and for obvious reasons, should be mentioned on the website because they had the video first. "Firsties" isn't a claim to notability or even a mention in and of itself, but BG got a ton of mainstream coverage considering their involvement. Other than a very brief mention in Le Figaro, there's nothing out there. Page hits don't count towards notability. It might make it more likely for sites to get coverage, but page hits ultimately do not count towards notability here on Wikipedia. As for the other claims to fame, the only people commenting on it are non-notable blogs that cannot be used to show notability.Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)   05:36, 28 January 2013 (UTC)
