If we accept the crime notability that is currently being debated, this fails; if we consider it with common sense and the current notability guidelines then this is, although horrible, not a particularly notable crime, and therefore criminal. Ironholds 18:01, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete; not of encyclopedic notability. Yes, it got headlines for a while, and was lurid, but is not really of any lasting significance. --MCB (talk) 23:42, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per MCB. Wikipedia is not a place to list of every murderer, but an encyclopedia.  To be kept the murderer should be either notable for some other event or the murder(s) of some significant level of notoriety. -- Mattinbgn\talk 12:03, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak delete No clear evidence of particular or enduring notability beyond the time and locality affected, although there's enough there to hint that this may be the case. Happy to reverse this opinion if additional RS are added to the article to prove the point for genuine notability. --Dweller (talk) 15:49, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
 * This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) 13:33, 8 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Rename and Rewrite to Murder of David Stephens. It seems to me that the coverage by 48 hours and the show on Oxygen are enough to merit an article, but the article should be about the crime.  Vickser (talk) 17:54, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete. Is she notable just for having a silly name? Commiting a not-unusual crime is not enough to confer enyclopedic notability; of course she had local covourage at the time, but that doesn't make her interesting to the rest of the world nor to posterityYobmod (talk) 13:44, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
