Iraena Asher[edit]

Another of the millions of missing persons cases that happen around the world every year. No evidence of the person or the case being significantly notable. As I have repeatedly stated, Wikipedia is not the place for listing these cases. Dmol (talk) 08:25, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Not notable. While tragic, the disapperence of this person has not received sufficient independent coverage to fulfill notability requirements. Google searches turned up nothing promising. Dominus Vobisdu (talk) 09:59, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Her disappearance got very widespread coverage in the New Zealand media at the time, and some coverage in October 2011 when a coroner's inquest was announced. She is notable not because she disappeared, but because she rang the police fearful for her safety some hours earlier, and their response was badly bungled. This might be a reason to move the article to a title such as "Iraena Asher disappearance". I suspect that there is still wide recognition of her name in New Zealand seven years later. As an example of this, her sister's involvement in 2007 New Zealand anti-terror raids received headlines such as Missing woman's sister discharged.-gadfium 19:56, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per major coverage at the time in New Zeeland and also continued coverage per this coverage and similar. Also her sisters involvement in the 2007 New Zealand anti-terror raids recieved coverage because of her being the sister of Iraena which makes me think the case is still recieving coverage and is just not another disappearance. --BabbaQ (talk) 22:11, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. I've never claimed that the case didn't receive press coverage, as that is quite normal for most disappearances. The media will often drag it out again for anniversaries and other flimsy excuses such as her sister's activities. But that does not change the fact that it is still not a case notable enough to be included in an encyclopaedia.--Dmol (talk) 11:04, 19 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep or Selective merge to 111 (emergency telephone number)#Controversy. The case led to a collapse in confidence in the NZ 111 emergency call response, and directly caused a 2005 official review of the service: "The service has had its fair share of difficulties with public confidence hiting rock bottom in the wake of the disappearance of Iraena Asher four years ago. A distraught Asher called for help from the police and was instead sent a taxi that never arrived - she has not been seen since. "I think the Iraena Asher incident just galvanised us that we need to continually invest in this very important area of public service," says Rob Pope, Deputy Police Commissioner."[1]; "A damning report in 2005 found police communications centres were inadequate. The report followed the disappearance of Auckland woman Iraena Asher after she had called 111 for help. Police sent a taxi rather than a patrol car and it went to the wrong address. Similar bungles continue to dog the service."[2]; "The 111 system faces a major shake-up following a review into a number of high profile failures. Police Commissioner Rob Robinson today announced the establishment of a national board to oversee the performance of police communications centres. The review was prompted by incidents including the Iraena Asher case. She called 111 in distress from Piha, west Auckland, but a taxi rather than a police car was sent to her. The taxi went to the wrong address and Ms Asher has never been found."[3] Fences&Windows 14:41, 2 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete this is a WP:BLP1E she is notable only for (one event) and all overage is only for that event, her disappearance hence no need for a biography here and further several thousands of people disappear every year and we cannot have articles for all of them.She fails WP:GNG Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 21:29, 11 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Doesn't seem to even claim any notability other than for one event, so fails WP:BLP1E. And no coverage for other than that event, so fails WP:BIO. Novaseminary (talk) 05:08, 12 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
