Non-notable crime. Media coverage is limited to a few repeated sentences. Renata (talk) 20:01, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
- Is notable. It is reported on at least 5 continents. In contrast, this crime is not Wikipedia notable http://www.kansas.com/2011/01/19/1681025/armed-man-robs-south-wichita-store.html Also the Baltic Times reports that the crime has shocked the nation. THIS IS NEW AND JUST DISCOVERED AND ADDED TO THE ARTICLE. Donotkill (talk) 19:53, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
- Note: This debate has been included in the list of Lithuania-related deletion discussions. -- Reaper Eternal (talk) 20:37, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
- Delete. Sad as it is, a 14-year old killing a 13-year old on a date is by itself not notable. Does the fact that the date was arranged through Facebook make this notable? Today it would actually be more remarkable if such a date was arranged through a go-between carrying notes scribbled on paper. The coverage in external sources is not in-depth but essentially consist of repetitions of the original, terse, Associated Press story. --Lambiam 21:19, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
- Partly right, partly wrong. The "date is by itself not notable". It is that it is reported in Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, Australia, etc. that it is notable. Donotkill (talk) 19:53, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
- All that's been linked to so far has been reprints of the same AP story and a Daily Mail story. OSbornarfcontributionatoration 19:58, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
- Partly right, partly wrong. The "date is by itself not notable". It is that it is reported in Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, Australia, etc. that it is notable. Donotkill (talk) 19:53, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
- Even if this were a notable murder, I see no evidence that it is known as the "2011 Facebook killing." That emphasis on the method of contact seems to be a POV slant; I removed the rather atrocious sentence from the article, "This is not the first time that Facebook has been in trouble for a murder." So it seems to be a WP:COATRACK. postdlf (talk) 21:44, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
- Good suggestion, keep the article and discuss a change in article name. Donotkill (talk) 19:53, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
- Delete no indication of deep notability or even that anyone uses the term "2011 Facebook killing". Several of the references are literally just the same AP story reprinted in different venues. I agree with Postdlf that this may be a WP:COATRACK of some variety. OSbornarfcontributionatoration 22:17, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
- I have now removed all but the two unique references. OSbornarfcontributionatoration 22:21, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
- Please do not destroy the article. You voted for deletion then you start taking stuff out. Contrary to your claim, you did take out unique references. The Nigerian newspaper had more than the others (the beginning of the story was the same but there's several paragraphs added). Also it shows how worldwide the coverage is, USA, Canada, Nigeria, India, UK, Australia, Lithuania, etc. Donotkill (talk) 19:57, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
- Each reprint of the AP story is not a unique story. Multiple links to this one story are redundant. The Nigerian story (I assume you're refering to onlinenigeria.com) was a reprint of the Daily Mail article, the original I did not remove (onlinenigeria.com "By Daily Mail Reporter") OSbornarfcontributionatoration 20:01, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

- Delete. This is a news story that is unlikely to be remembered as a historic WP:EVENT. As others have said, it was the killing of one person who was lured by another over the Internet. Not the first time that that's happened, but in this case the medium happened to be Facebook. Mandsford 02:00, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
- Delete Local news story without global notability. The means used to arrange the death is very secondary to the actual event and is only used to rabble-rouse parents and the media critics (I can imagine if we were in another age we'd be talking about deleting 1924 Murder Arranged by Ham Radio or 1673 Slaying via Smoke Signal). Otherwise it should be confined local Lithuanian Wikipedia, where it probably would have more notability (though they might delete on the same grounds there).
