BLP landmine that has no specific citations and has been tagged for POV since 2007. Richmond was convicted for a single crime and does not meet the criteria for WP:PERP, so this appears to be a WP:BLP1E. RL0919 (talk) 23:59, 18 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Classic WP:BLP1E.--brew crewer (yada, yada) 00:07, 19 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Rename/rework to preserve the information - the incident seems notable. Here is a collection of source and there are more out there. How about rename/rework the article to something link Muhammad Hussain Kadir Killing IQinn (talk) 01:51, 19 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment -- I requested userification of the article on Jeffrey Waruch here. Waruch was the other GI involved in this incident. Some reports asserted that Sergeant Waruch invented or exagerrted the allegations against Richmond in order to undermine his credibility, because he expected Richmond to testify against him for shooting an Iraqi mom and two of her children. The result of Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Jeffrey_Waruch was "merge then delete". But it looks like the Jeffrey Waruch article was not merged, just deleted.

Request to potential closing administrators -- I think my request for Jeffrey Waruch be userified is a reasonable one. I'd like to review the userified Jeffrey Waruch article prior to weighing in on the idea of changing this aritcle to an article on the incident(s). I'd like to request this {{afd}} be relisted after the DRV on the userification of Jeffrey Waruch is concluded. Geo Swan (talk) 00:45, 20 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I just supported your request at Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2010 March 19#Jeffrey Waruch. Userfication in this situation shouldn't be overly controversial, so if an uninvolved admin is willing to restore it for you, the DRV could easily be closed before this AFD has run its course. --RL0919 (talk) 06:07, 20 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Userfication request seems reasonable to me, unless anyone can articulate a reason why it would not be a reasonable approach. I would just ask that all of us commenting here be notified when/if it is re-AfD'd.--Epeefleche (talk) 09:01, 21 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- The article on Jeffrey Waruch was userified to User:Geo Swan/look/Jeffrey Waruch. It is not extensive. Geo Swan (talk) 17:41, 21 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Move and fix from a biography to an article about the incident. bahamut0013^words _deeds 10:29, 21 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Move and rewrite per Iqinn and Bahamut. See, for example, Murder of Yang Xin, which went through a similar process. The individual does not warrant an article, but the incident might. rʨanaɢ (talk) 15:29, 21 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Move and change -- I wrote the first draft of this article in 2005. I too agree that, as per the standards of 2010, the incident should be covered in a single article. The relevant, policy compliant details of both Richmond and Waruch's roles covered there. Geo Swan (talk) 17:41, 21 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
