Notability; being a murder victim doesn't make you notable. I'd argue that this is already adequately covered in the Michael Peterson article and The Staircase article. ^†Basilosauridae❯❯❯Talk 17:27, 16 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment: Well the Michael Peterson article is also problematic, since most of that is actually about the death of Kathleen and he is not notable outside of the incident either. I'm surprised that these separate biography articles are how the case is covered here. WP:SINGLEEVENT says "The general rule is to cover the event, not the person", and yet we don't even have an article about the "event". I have just requested a move from Michael Peterson to Death of Kathleen Peterson, and I would support redirecting/merging this article to that one. --Loeba (talk) 22:46, 16 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
