I think WP:BLP1E and WP:NOT#NEWS apply to this article. The only ghits I can find related to this "Richard David Smith" relate to this one incident. The image may be a copy-vio, but as it's on at least two of the google links it may be public domain. I don't know how to investigate such. Beeswaxcandle (talk) 00:20, 2 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. I agree--subject is known (if he is 'known' at all) for one thing. Besides, this kind of BLP is really, well, fishy? I mean, the guy is charged with a crime--let us stay out of this for the while. Drmies (talk) 03:00, 2 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - doesn't assert notability. A possible A7 Speedy. SilkTork *^YES! 11:53, 2 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete no evidence the murder is notable and he hasn't even been found guilty. TravellingCari 22:03, 2 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Speedy Delete as this is the sort of not-even-notable-only-for- (having-been accused of)-committing a heinous crime for which BLP is the remedy. Wikipedia is not the news, nor is it Rogue's Gallery. Nor is it Pillory and Stocks.com. I will be blanking the BLP part. Dlohcierekim 15:24, 3 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
