Weak keep. As is, the article is severely lacking in citations and references; however, there has been some national coverage of this from when the murders were committed in 2001[1], to when the bodies were found in 2005[2][3], to when the conviction was overturned and a new trial ordered in 2008.[4][5] Still, there are not as many sources as I would expect.

- That doesn't get him out of WP:BLP1E and WP:NOT#NEWS. Joe Chill (talk) 12:23, 12 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  - WP:BLP1E refers to low-profile individuals and it must be balanced with the perp section in WP:N/CA which refers to persistent coverage. Persistent coverage outside of the local area suggests that he has some notability (i.e. not low-profile). I would agree with you that there are not an overwhelming number of sources in the national news, hence the "weak" prefix. Location (talk) 15:47, 12 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    - This murderer is low profile. The only coverage that he got was coverage about the murder and stuff that followed it which is still a part of one event because every murderer will have more happen to them than the murder they committed. Joe Chill (talk) 17:23, 12 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Minor wire service coverage does not a notable alleged murderer make. Just because it is on the AP wire does not mean it got "national media attention."--JohnnyB256 (talk) 00:23, 19 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Delete: Severely lack reliable sources as well as notability. South Bay (talk) 02:48, 19 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: The key hinge of WP:BLP1E has been whether the event was significant. This wasn't; it was a murder, no more or less noteworthy than any other. (And, by the bye, would the article's author care to proffer any policy basis upon which to keep?) Ravenswing 09:56, 19 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
