  • Comment. Not really. That is what WP:VICTIM is about. Lots of media attention but for essentially being a victim. Period. Not notableStudent7 (talk) 21:33, 11 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. This is not about reliable sources. It happened. It is about someone who would have been unknown otherwise. Unlike (for example), the Lindbergh baby who was the son of a prominent hero. This is nothing like that at all. Not every victim that gets publicity is really notable. Has to be a slow news day, for one thing. Student7 (talk) 21:33, 11 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. You are arguing that the victim of the crime is not notable in her own right. Perhaps that is the case. But that's not the decision in front of us. This article is about the crime. The question is does this crime meet the notability guidelines. This crime has received extensive, ongoing news coverage for nearly three years, therefore the crime meets the notability guideline.

  • Comment/Keep She was notable outside of the murder, at least on a local level, as she was the student body president of a major university. In the initial AfD this came up, as there was another similar case, the murder of Lauren Burk. While she was a college student at another university and was killed under similar circumstances, she was not a notable person out of her death.Eauhomme (talk) 04:24, 14 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. My nomination is a coincidence. Discovered it only after I nominated it. It's pretty obvious folks. It probably won't be the last. It was not connected to the first one in any way. Student7 (talk) 21:33, 11 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
