Although this article was just created, I am bringing thhis straight to afd because it was just recently delted through a PROD. I'll repeat the original prodder's concerns - this article is problematic due to WP:MEMORIAL and Misplaced Pages:Notability (criminal acts) brewcrewer (yada, yada) 05:36, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
- Keep In what sense do you mean "problematic"? Although the article should be entitled Murder of Thien Minh Ly per WP:N/CA. Potatoswatter (talk) 07:12, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
- Problematic in the sense that the article violates WP:NOT#MEMORIAL and problematic in the sense that the crime doesn't meet the proposed notability guideline of criminal acts. This proposal is pretty much an outgrowth of the regular notability standards, and require "significant coverage in sources with national or global scope." --brewcrewer (yada, yada) 16:32, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
- Keep In the original article, I failed to mention (and receive confirmation) that Ly's case was the first hate crime to have a conviction in California, which is a mistake that has been amended in this version. Personally, I think that's notable enough - if not, please tell me. Miyuster (talk) 16:10, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
- Keep. But the article ought to be renamed Murder of ..., as above. --Malleus Fatuorum (talk) 17:01, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
- Delete. WP:NOTMEMORIAL and not notable other than being a murder victim. The keeps are based on this being the first conviction under California's 'hate crimes' law, but wouldn't that make this a WP:COATRACK article? If this case is notable mention of it belongs in an article in California's 'hate crimes' law and not a bio. KleenupKrew (talk) 00:16, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
