Tim Arnold
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Illustrator who apparently only received coverage for one event when he was a murder suspect. No apparent notability as an illustrator. This was kept at VFD in 2005 but I think the consensus on articles such as this has moved on somewhat since then. Michig (talk) 06:38, 2 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom. For a split second I mis-read this as Tom Arnold.   JBsupreme  ( talk ) 08:18, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Note: I've removed the mention of him having been a suspect in the murder, per WP:BLP, as it was unsourced. Wine Guy   Talk  07:47, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. Definitely not notable as an illustrator; and as for the murder, a relatively minor WP:BLP1E which doesn't appear to have gotten coverage outside of Massachusetts. The previous AfD likely suffered from recentism, as the case was ongoing at the time. The nom from the old AfD says it all: "Had he not discovered the body of Christa Worthington, he would have been forever obscure." Wine Guy   Talk  08:11, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
