After browsing sources, I'm not convinced this crime is notable enough for its own article. SarekOfVulcan (talk) 14:51, 11 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. Passes various subsections of WP:EVENT. A GBooks search for one of the perps reveals what appears to be significant coverage of the murders/murderers in a couple academic books discussing behavior and motivation, as well as a few other books discussing the relationship with goths and young murderers.[1] The article name does not appear to be very prevalent, so I would suggest 1997 Bellvue, Washington murders or Wilson family murders. (The New York Times referred to it as the "Wilson family killings".[2]) Mentioned in an episode of Wicked Attraction. - Location (talk) 20:58, 11 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - An episode of the TV crime series Wicked Attraction has dealt with this spree-killing.--Раціональне анархіст (talk) 20:41, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - has been the subject of media, passes in large WP:EVENT. --BabbaQ (talk) 21:27, 20 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment – it's certainly not notable enough to be treated as a proper name, but my bold attempt to fix it was reverted. Dicklyon (talk) 01:29, 21 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
