whilst she gets some coverage, I don't believe she meets the specific criteria under WP:PERPETRATOR, she is not notable outside the context of this crime, nor did she generate significant coverage internationally. LibStar (talk) 03:13, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, ~~but rename~~ As there doesn't appear to bean article about the murder, and considering the continued coverage of the case, I feel that it should be kept, but the article should be renamed so it is about the murder and not just one person involved.

Based on the book source presented below, I revise my opinion on the renaming, Tracy does appear to be notable enough on her own to have an article about her. (I still believe there should be an article on the murder though.) Silver seren^C 11:59, 27 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep "nor did she generate significant coverage internationally" - are you sure about that? The first reference in the article is from the Toronto Star! Even just following the links at the top of this AfD (such as Google Books) reveals multiple sources. I am not a big fan of articles about criminals and one-off murderers but the nature of this event and the subsequent publicity, in Australia and elsewhere makes this clearly notable. This really should be a speedy keep. -- Mattinbgn\^talk 10:48, 27 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Bantam Books have published a book specifically about the subject of this article[1]. Can we close this now? -- Mattinbgn\^talk 10:54, 27 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

no, we don't close it because you want it closed. Please let the AfD run its course. LibStar (talk) 11:16, 27 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

We don't close it because one editor wants it closed, but how about closing it by nominator withdrawal because incontrovertible evidence of notability has been presented? Phil Bridger (talk) 23:14, 30 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per comments from Matt Satu Suro 04:29, 28 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
