No direct evidence of notability. No sign that this is any more than just a run of the mill disappearance case (about 2,300 Americans are reported missing each day). References are mostly typical news reports and routine coverage, no indication of any lasting impact, such as a change in a law or procedure, which is usually used as a yardstick for notability in these cases. Very tragic, but tragically not that uncommon. (See also, WP:MURDEROF) Bneu2013 (talk) 05:10, 20 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. Nom is correct that most missing person cases are not notable. However this one has continued coverage for over 20 years.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7].Icewhiz (talk) 08:16, 20 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - Icewhiz are right, we do individual evaluations of articles notability. Clearly here the subject has recieved coverage over a twenty year period. BabbaQ (talk) 09:52, 20 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep, is sourced enough to be included. Davidgoodheart (talk) 23:07, 20 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. purely routine. The policy is NOT INDISCRIMINATE. DGG ( talk ) 23:39, 25 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep Based on the current sourcing in the article, it easily passes WP:GNG. This topic has received significant coverage in secondary sources over the course of decades. NBC did an article on her just last year. Her disappearance was featured in an episode of the TV show Find Our Missing. Lonehexagon (talk)
• Keep as per WP:SIGCOV, and the fact that coverage extends over many years. E.M.Gregory (talk) 19:26, 5 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Another tragic, but routine disappearance. We can't have an article on every crime or disappearance that been featured on America's Most Wanted or the Investigation Discovery channel. It easy to say that there's been recent coverage, but you have to look at the context of that coverage. It's routine, its not as if there has been new developments in the case or its considered the crime of century.--Rusf10 (talk) 05:15, 6 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. Nothing of interest here, move on people... Unfortunately, cases like these are a dime a dozen. DGG nails it: NOT INDISCRIMINATE. --Randykitty (talk) 17:37, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Except that the standard is not whether this was "considered the crime of century" or whether the case seems "routine" to Wikipedia editors. The standards are WP:SIGCOV and WP:NCRIME, and this case has had ONGOING INDEPTH coverage, and this 1994 crime has bben covered for decades.

• KEEP I agree with Icewhiz. Getting coverage for over 20 years proves notability. Dream Focus 18:51, 14 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
