We were here in June when it was a NAC keep, however other than some claims of possibly important precedent, there's no evidence whatsoever that being switched at birth and trying to change one's name provides notability. Until such time as it sets a precedent, there's no evidence of notability -- only crystal ball. StarM 18:50, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

 * Weak Delete: appears to have had moderate to significant coverage at the time, but it does seem to be a BLP1E with no apparent follow-up. --AbsolutDan (talk) 19:08, 22 February 2009 (UTC) Merge per Baileypalblue. --AbsolutDan (talk) 21:13, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep but move to an article named something relating to the case rather than the person. For instance, that's what we did with Madeleine McCann, who herself was only notable through WP:ONEEVENT, but whose article was moved to Disappearance of Madeleine McCann, something that was of significant coverage and highly notable for Wikipedia. Looks to me like the same line of reasoning would apply here. - Lilac Soul (talk • contribs • count) 19:46, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment it would, if there was any evidence the case was notable. There isn't. Madeline McCann is a case that's had long-running news coverage and international attention, this isn't. StarM  20:38, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge to Freedom_of_religion_in_Malaysia which already discusses similar cases. If a consensus develops to keep the article, it should be renamed to focus on the conversion incident, as Lilac Soul recommends, per WP:BLP1E.  Note that there are several bio articles on non-notable subjects like this linked from Freedom_of_religion_in_Malaysia and Apostasy_in_Islam which should probably be renamed or merged.
