Victor Miller (murderer)

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

See WP:BLP1E. This person has no historical significance warranting an article, nor are there any truly biographical sources (where he, rather than the one event he gained notoriety for, is the subject of the source). Wikipedia shouldn't be a publisher of true crime accounts. He committed a murder that was briefly the subject of news reports, and that is all. However, Wikipedia is not a newspaper. Delete.

 * Delete Appears to fail WP:BIO. See also WP:NOTNEWS. A one off murder is not something that needs to be in encyclopedias forever, if it led to no societal changes, no new laws, and no secondary coverage such as books, plays, or movies. Wikipedia is not a crime blog. Edison (talk) 15:22, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete for now as BLP1E. The bit about him being suspected in 28 other assaults may in future qualify him for an article, if it turns out he has more murder victims as well. If that time ever comes, then I've got no problem with this being re-created. Arakunem Talk 17:21, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom - fails WP:ONEEVENT for his original murder conviction. His recent media resurrection (for want of a better word) is nothing but a passing mention about him and 50 other criminals, not significant enough to warrant his own article. GiantSnowman 14:57, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
