Subject fails WP:GNG and WP:CRIME. The majority of the sources are primary sources such as missing person databases and government/law enforcement websites. Much of the articles constitutes WP:Original research or WP:Original synthesis of primary sources. The news coverage is WP:ROUTINE coverage for police investigating John Doe cases and doesn't count as RS per WP:NOTNEWS. Topic lacks any independent significant coverage in reliable sources. According to NAMUS, law enforcement processes over 4,000 unidentified bodies a year in the United States; so there is nothing inherently notable about cases like these. Further the naming is problematic as Harris County has many more does in their cold case files. 4meter4 (talk) 00:41, 22 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge with List of unidentified murder victims in Texas. Any relevant information about these missing persons belongs on that page. KidAd • SPEAK 02:13, 22 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• If it's not notable to stand on its own it shouldn't exist on that list. Death related lists on wikipedia typically limit entries to those with stand alone articles.4meter4 (talk) 02:19, 22 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge with List of unidentified murder victims in Texas. Definitely notable within the span of Murder/Disappearances. All of the information in the article should be merged into said List.BabbaQ (talk) 17:51, 22 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
