Marlies van der Kouwe

I think this fails WP:NOT#NEWS. Van der Kouwe was not notable in her own right, and, now that the suspects have all been arrested and the body found, there's no reason to believe that this is going to become notable in the unfortunate way that Holloway did. PROD on this basis was placed by another editor and removed by yet another editor. I will point out that some may believe me to have a COI: this event took place a few hundred meters from my home. —Kww(talk) 00:57, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete concur with nom. that WP:NOT#NEWS and WP:BLP1E apply here. JJL (talk) 01:14, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Move to Abduction of Marlies Elisabeth van der Kouwe, which is notable and the subject of much coverage in reliable sources. -- Eastmain (talk) 01:24, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete unless it can be shown that the subject of this tragedy had some notability before the abuduction and murder, or some related repercussions/events stemming from this murder. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 03:27, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Per Kww who has no COI, the test for COI is whether you're editing at variance with the desire to improve articles. In any event, this article ought to be deleted.--Wehwalt (talk) 07:56, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
