Tempe Girl

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The second AFD from Template:Unidentified decedent after fellow non-notable not-news subject Lyle Stevik. The most notable thing about this article is that it hosts the authors own original illustration of the subject.

Wikipedia is not a newspaper. There is no historical significance to this death. Aside from the local news sources, the subject has been the subject of a single CNN article in their cold cases column, and an appearance in a forensics trade publication. This is not significant coverage, every national newspaper covers more notable topics on every single page, every single day. - hahnch e n 19:41, 1 April 2015 (UTC)


 * Keep Once again, subject is notable per WP:Victim and WP:ONEEVENT. CNN is still a nationwide publication, yes? Still a reasonable amount of recognition if the topic makes national news. See related discussion at this link which adequately applies to this nomination. As mentioned in the AFD for Pemiscot County Does, the fact that this article contains "amateur self-illustrated portraits" has absolutely no relevance to indicate if the cases are notable but simply reduces the amount of non-free images to be uploaded -- Gourami Watcher  (?) 19:45, 1 April 2015 (UTC)

Comment - this is clearly forum shopping by hahnchen to impose his subjective (not objective) view of what Wikipedia should be. Paul Austin (talk) 03:56, 7 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep - subject meets WP:VICTIM.--BabbaQ (talk) 17:17, 5 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:VICTIM, WP:ONEEVENT and WP:GNG - Notability is there so seeing no reason to delete. – Davey 2010 Talk 21:43, 7 April 2015 (UTC)
