Wilda Benoit

This page lacks notability. Wikipedia is not a missing persons register. There is no suggestion by police that this is anything more than a standard missing persons case. There are very few reliable sources, and the case has barely been touched upon in recent years. The page itself states that "there is very little information" available. Delete on grounds of a lack of notability. FirefoxLSD (talk) 10:05, 22 March 2018 (UTC)

Keep, Beniot is featured in a music video by a famous band which does show some notability, and its like I have said before: people are now way too picky about what should be included. Davidgoodheart (talk) 03:06, 23 March 2018 (UTC)
 * There are standards, you need to change how you do things, not Wikipedia.★Trekker (talk) 18:49, 23 March 2018 (UTC)


 * Delete - Wikipedia is not a database, and that is just about all I see in terms of sourcing--website databases for missing persons rather than secondary coverage. Being in a music video for an unnotable song is irrelevant because notability is not inherited. If, for some careless reason, this is kept, the article needs to be renamed to "Disappearance of Wilda Benoit".TheGracefulSlick (talk) 15:12, 29 March 2018 (UTC)
 * The song seems notable, it has a large sourced article.★Trekker (talk) 15:20, 29 March 2018 (UTC)
 * I actually meant to say "unnotable music video for a song". She had nothing to do with the song's composition, nor was she a band member so her appearance means very little, if anything, for establishing notability.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 19:32, 29 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Yeah I don't think she's notable either, just pointing out that the song is.★Trekker (talk) 19:34, 29 March 2018 (UTC)


 * Delete. Nothing special here, a dime a dozen, unfortunately. --Randykitty (talk) 16:30, 30 March 2018 (UTC)
