 * Comment Can we include this in India related discussion, because even though the alleged murder was in Thailand, the main suspects was Indian and was arrested by the Indian police. Fotaun (talk) 17:01, 14 August 2015 (UTC)


 * Weak delete per WP:BLP1E (or should it be WP:BDP1E?). As expected, there were lots of news coverage, but they are all for the murder case, and it doesn't even seem to be one that is high profile enough to warrant a Murder of Wendy Albano article. Also, one of the hits I found suggests that prior to her death she worked with celebrities, which might be a credible claim to notability if there were sources about that independent of the murder case, but as it stands, there isn't any.

 * Comment I would take step back from just looking at it either a criminal case or biography, what caught my attention here is the politics. A U.S. Senator writing to Hillary to get India to move on a case, shifted this into the interesting category of cases involving international relations (anyone remember the Singapore lashings stories?). There may be a better umbrella for it, I don't know but I what I have wanted to find is if Hillary actually contacted India about this. Fotaun (talk) 17:08, 14 August 2015 (UTC)


 * there may be sources, notability, I'll need to find time to look at the sources, here's the quick google news search .E.M.Gregory (talk) 03:18, 14 August 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep sitting at the nexus of international crime, politics, india=thai-usa relations, and of course the letter to Hillary from a US Senator, makes this at least in my opinion something that is historical and notable. Maybe we don't need this information in a biography but it should probably be somewhere in the "summary of all human knowledge". Fotaun (talk) 17:26, 14 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete - Wikipedia is WP:NOTNEWS, senators and US secretary of state thrwoing their weight around when US citizens are murdered abroad is run-of-the-mill, no lasting impact, an ordinary muder case, also article is quite some WP:COATRACK, telling stories of unrelated events. Kraxler (talk) 17:06, 16 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment I don't think any of that is accurate- it is quite rare to have politicians involved in cases like you are talking about. Comparing this event to put in context is not exactly a coat rack either, that is just standard article writing on Wikipedia. However, that is really a page content issue not a reason to delete (maybe for a merge?) Fotaun (talk) 13:38, 17 August 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Keep - WP:NOTNEWS is wikipedias most pointless guideline as Wikipedia is based solely or mostly on news in sources, and the material added. Anyway. this one passes WP:GNG. Simple.--BabbaQ (talk) 21:35, 17 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep as per, more than a simple WP:BLP1E since it involves several nations (India, Thailand, USA), a high-profile designer, involvement by US politicians, a 2-year manhunt, justice, solid references => keep.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 22:41, 18 August 2015 (UTC)
