There is nothing notable about this crime. It is a routine homicide and fails WP:NCRIME. It does not warrant a Wikipedia article. WWGB (talk) 05:39, 11 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy keep. This was an extremely high profile case in Ireland, with a lot of media coverage. It drew comments from the Taoiseach, and resulted in lots of discussion about femicide in Ireland. Also, reading WP:NCRIME, it seems to go against the message you’re purporting that it says. It says that while breaking news is often the subject of deletion discussions, “media coverage can confer notability on a high-profile criminal act”. The page currently is incomplete, but still has 14 different sources dealing with the case, comprised of national newspapers and the national broadcaster, which were released over a period of four months. I think this page very clearly meets the WP:GNG. I’m essentially going to copy and paste this to the other article you nominated, the Murder of Anne Colomines, because these cases were both very high profile in Ireland, drawing lots of media attention, and are often linked together in media in discussions of femicide in Ireland. Discussion of Lott’s death is still ongoing in Ireland, with a new article having been released by The Irish Times only a few hours ago, two years after her death.

Keep - Sourcing and additional room for expansion. Per WP:NCRIME: "As with other events, media coverage can confer notability on a high-profile criminal act, provided such coverage meets the above guidelines and those regarding reliable sources." Passes WP:GNG - the coverage is national and not hyper local. Missvain (talk) 22:12, 22 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
