This AfD nomination was incomplete. I have fixed the formatting and listed it in the log. Natalie 04:04, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
Delete: He was in the news for about two months, and now no one except Al Sharpton cares anymore. The police shoot people every day, and times with a lot more than 50 bullets. This incident is more news than notable.
Keep: Notable incident, received lots of national media attention. Here are some more refs which could be added to the article. - Rjd0060 04:08, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
Strong Keep This has to be one of the more pathetic excuses for deletion I've ever seen. But then again, given that we allow anybody, no matter how little experience they have, to create two AfDs in three edits, this is really our fault. This is a thoroughly documented article with several dozen reliable and verifiable sources, for an incident that has been in the news on a constant basis in the year since it occurred. The case has raised significant issues of police undercover practices in New York City, above and beyond the racial overtones involved. Notability is established. The AfD process is broken.

Hear, hear I have been working some AFD proposals just now and it's disgraceful how casual and slipshod the process is currently. Colonel Warden 09:42, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Move to Shooting of Sean Bell and restructure appropriately. The incident may be notable as it was widely reported, the victim is probably not notable in his own right. ]
Keep. Widespread media coverage. —Caesura 06:29, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
