 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

This incident is regrettable but not notable enough for an encyclopedia article, even if widely reported, per WP:NOT ("Wikipedia considers the historical notability of persons and events") and WP:BLP1E. See also Joseph R. Rios III about the same incident, also at AfD here. Even if combined into a single article about the incident, this would fail WP:NOT. Delete.

 * Delete Per nomination - editors should also consider Joseph R. Rios III which is similarly nominated for deletion (as this one should be) on the basis of a violation of WP:BLP and WP:1E.-- VS talk 10:23, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete for same reasons I gave at WP:Articles for deletion/Joseph R. Rios III, copied here: "This is just a news piece, and is not notable no matter how many recent news stories it happens to show up in. As an aside, the person who brought this to DRV did so by claiming that it gets lots of gnews hits, but actually used a ridiculously broad search term; with a proper search term it gets a grand total of 4 hits." r ʨ anaɢ talk/contribs 14:53, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
 * (copied from the above mentioned discussion) Thank you for showing me how to include google news searches here. I had already asked for that as you can see here. Had you looked up the source code for my link you would have seen that I had given the full name and only wikipedia cut off everything after the first space because generally after a space the description of the link follows. I had not been aware of the possibility to use %20. for a space, I tried _ as is used in wikipedia but that does not work for google news. There are now several hundreds of pages on the net mentioning "Joseph R Rios" and 14 topics at google news, one each from the main German and the main Swiss news magazine, one from a big Turkish one, one from the Czech Republic, and of the other 28 which to me seem to be all US articles, 13 are distinct, some of them from major sources (CNN, Fox, ABC).

 * Delete Fails WP:BIO. Unfortunately there are lots of people who get beaten up by police all around the world, every day. Sorry, but it's not notable, even if there was a minor subsequent demo. Johnuniq (talk) 04:50, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete as the proper article has been found where to include the information unless the event turns out to have bigger consequences than can be seen now and that would make the person notable here. Note List of cases of police brutality. Xodó (talk) 06:23, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
