Fail WP:BLP1E, WP:ONEEVENT and WP:NOT#NEWS case that have already been forgotten by now, just like every other attempted rape cases.

Every subsequent event have been related to that trival attempted rape case therefore it fall foul of all those above. Donnie Park (talk) 15:05, 2 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak keep per WP:GNG. Gbooks reveals a number of mentions over the years that indicates that his case has not been entirely forgotten. That and the other news blurbs suggests on-going coverage. Location (talk) 04:57, 3 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge into date rape as this seems to be the context in which most sources discuss the matter and that article could use some help. Colonel Warden (talk) 09:41, 3 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep per WP:GNG and continuing interest and coverage. Brookie :) - he's in the building somewhere! ^(Whisper...) 13:24, 4 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - per WP:GNG.--BabbaQ (talk) 18:49, 6 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - This is really interesting. This case has really come to epitomize the debates about date rape, the treatment of men by the legal system and how the social status of women affects how assaults upon them are treated. A Google books search turns up many reliable sources. However, as a BLP this really needs to be edited for NPOV and sourcing. (Which I would start on now but I'm too tired to think that straight.) - ManicSpider (talk) 12:40, 8 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • (Also - am I the only one who winced at the phrase 'trivial attempted rape' in the nom?) - ManicSpider (talk) 12:38, 8 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
