This article was nominated for deletion on 14 September 2009. The result of the discussion was keep.

Creation

Felt that given the likelihood that she was murdered, she warranted a page in Wikipedia. Began a rudimentary article on the subject. GG The Fly (talk) 03:35, 14 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This should probably be moved to something like Disappearance of Annie Le since the artcile documents a crime, and is not actually a biography of the person. ArcAngel (talk) 03:48, 14 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

When she's confirmed dead, I agree that we should move it to Murder of Annie Le GG The Fly (talk) 04:11, 14 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sadly, Miss Le's death has been confirmed, and the remains have been identified as hers. See Suspect Eyed in Yale Killing, Report Says. Thanks. (Joseph A. Spadaro, 14 September 2009)

Tense

Will keep in the present tense until remains are identified. GG The Fly (talk) 03:37, 14 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sadly, Miss Le's death has been confirmed, and the remains have been identified as hers. See Suspect Eyed in Yale Killing, Report Says. Thanks. (Joseph A. Spadaro, 14 September 2009)

University alumni

Are you a Yale Alumni if you die before graduating? Just curious. GG The Fly (talk) 23:39, 14 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. See alumnus. It states: An alumnus (pl. alumni) according to the American Heritage Dictionary is "a graduate or former student of a school, college, or university." In addition, an alumna (pl. alumnae) is "a female graduate or former student of a school, college, or university." Thanks. (Joseph A. Spadaro, 15 September 2009)

Useful

Was helpful in getting a background and summary on this current event. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.58.215.102 (talk) 15:18, 14 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Let's leave this page up for now

I considered creating a page on Annie Le the other day. I'm seeing a pattern among a number of young women of 24 years old being murdered so, for now, let's leave the page up as it isn't hurting anything right now.--MurderWatcher1 (talk) 18:55, 14 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I personally agree ... but see this: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Annie Le. Thanks. (Joseph A. Spadaro, 14 September 2009)

This article must not be deleted. Annie Le has Supermodel looks and murder of supermodels is really climactic and important.

Is she holding a baby in that security camera picture?

Looks like it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 20.137.18.50 (talk) 18:25, 15 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I was wondering about that too. I wish someone who saw her that day could advise on what she was holding in that photo. Alanasings (talk) 13:58, 17 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Article not a biography

Thus, an event infobox is what is called for the top of the page. Nevertheless, a bio infobox should be included as well because there is no biography for Annie Le on Wikipedia (see WP:PRESERVE concerning preserving sourced information on Wikipedia). The fact of the matter is, many articles within Wikipedia have infoboxes within sections (such as for a particular work in the biography of that work's creator, when the work itself would not be deemed notable enough to receive its own article). See infobox wrt terms of address used for President Barack Obama within a section of the biography Barack Obama -- along with many, many other precedents for biographical sections within parent articles having their distinct infoboxes. ↜Just M E here , now 23:26, 15 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Connection to Jaycee Dugard

Just a weird coincidence that two ugly incidents currently in the national news both have El Dorado County, California connections. Both victims were at one time residents of the county. Corsair1944 (talk) 17:55, 16 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Media coverage often incorrect

9/17/09

I regularly check the various news agencies for relevant and current information. Of late I have been appalled at the coverage of this murder. I want the facts and it seems that the news media can only rehash the fact that her body was found on the day she was to be married. Obviously this is their perception of a human interest hook. It would be useful if the reporting agencies would drop the bull and stick with the journalistic facts...Entries like this one are useful in that they simply and concisely report the facts.

This often happens in news stories. A few facts get reported wrong and the other news agencies will just repeat the mistakes without checking. Wikipedia can provide a good counterbalance to this, particular when someone close to the story checks the article. In response to concerns above, I've found wikipedia editors to be very diligent in sticking to the facts on stories concerning ordinary people. This article is meant to be a dispassionate summary of the basic facts, and by definition of wikipedia, will contain nothing not already found in other professional articles.--Louiedog (talk) 21:50, 17 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've heard several times that her body was found in "several pieces", i.e., cut up, and stuffed behind the wall. Should this be included in the article? -- Masamunecyrus^(talk)_(contribs) 06:48, 18 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

arrest of suspect??

I don't see the name of the suspect, is there some reason for not releasing what has already been released by the press? Bachcell (talk) 16:39, 17 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Suspect's name is in news articles. The name may have been kept out of this article intentionally, out of protection for him. He hasn't been convicted of anything. Anyway, the name is easily found.--Louiedog (talk) 19:56, 17 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
