Biography of a man convicted of one sexual offence, which received some media coverage. Not suitable for a biography. Viridae Talk 05:54, 1 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete Appears to be notable for only one event. The level of coverage suggests a possible article on the case as a whole, but I don't necessarily think that is a particularly great idea, either. ɠǀɳ̩ςεΝɡ  bomb  07:53, 1 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. Non-notable criminal. Keb25 (talk) 08:09, 1 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:BLP1E & WP:ONEEVENT. Dragquennom (talk) 08:17, 1 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete Nothing notable about a man, who commited one criminal offense. Adam mugliston  Talk  09:11, 1 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep: the topic is getting more coverage on the press.
 * Keep: It was in the news, it's notable.Ashwinr (talk) 18:45, 1 May 2011 (UTC)
 * You just wrote 2 arguments to avoid in deletion discussions- see WP:ITSNOTABLE and WP:INTHENEWS. Dragquennom (talk) 18:15, 5 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Comment His one notable event received national media coverage. The victim, Liz Seccuro, recently published a book about the rape.  There is a possibility that this will again receive media attention that would compel the creation of a Wikipedia page.  NYCRuss   ☎  13:28, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. The subject surpasses the bounds of BLP1E by far.   coccyx bloccyx  (toccyx)  23:52, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
 * And how would that be? He committed a single crime. That's your one event. Viridae Talk 01:03, 5 May 2011 (UTC)

 * Merge and redirect to Twelve-step program. The crime is notable only in relationship to the perp's attempt to fulfill AA's 12 step program. Wikipedia would be better served by mentioning the incident and "aftermath" there. Location (talk) 20:34, 3 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep - Seem to pass One time event, per first conviction, later letter. and ofcourse The case gained national notoriety is a main factor for my keep decision.--BabbaQ (talk) 15:57, 5 May 2011 (UTC)
 * In fact, the phrase The case gained national notoriety which you claim is the main factor for your keep decision, isn't even supported by the source given. I omitted it from the article. Dragquennom (talk) 18:20, 5 May 2011 (UTC)
