The result was Delete per consensus also the individual doesn't seem to be notable beyond the murder and also there are hundreds of officers killed each year in the line of duty. --JForget 23:14, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

WP:NOTMEMORIAL, primarily. Unfortunately we live in a society where police officers are killed in the line of duty, and this was the case even in 1933. He wasn't the first killed and Wikipedia is not a memorial. He does not appear to be notable for anything other than sadly being murdered. Does not appear encyclopedically notable.

• Weak delete As it stands now, it is a very unencyclopedic, POV memorial. If sources exist to make an encyclopedic article, then it should be created but this article isn't it. DoubleBlue (Talk) 03:25, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per nom. The subject is known only for one event, sad though it may be. His demise did not result in any consequences for Canada or Calgary. Ohconfucius (talk) 05:33, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Wikipedia is not for memorials. Doctorfluffy (robe and wizard hat) 18:57, 1 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
