The only thing the notable is dying in a Scientology building Failing WP:VICTIM WP:GNG. Only sparse local coverage from the local paper. No controversy like Lisa McPherson, There was an investigation by state agency but only one of 500 investigation simlair investigations carried out that year. Previous AFD seemed to be astrroturphed by the SPA POV-Pusher on both Anti-Sci and Pro-Sci who were all banned by WP:ARBSCI. Lets see if we can have a rational discussion this time around.

- Since the article has been moved to from notability guidelines from Stacy Meyer where [WP:BIO]]/WP:VICTIM guidelines are to Death of Stacy Meyer so now is falls under WP:EVENT. It fails the WP:EVENT criteria as well. The Resident Anthropologist (talk) 21:20, 13 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per nominator. It's sad that she died, but I can't even see any notability asserted, much less proven, that would merit an article. 28bytes (talk) 02:19, 11 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- The new page title is a step in the right direction. I'd like to see an actual assertion of notability in the article, though. 28bytes (talk) 23:03, 13 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Page has since been moved to Death of Stacy Meyer. Has received coverage in WP:RS multiple secondary sources. -- Cirt (talk) 19:20, 12 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Stacy Meyer is the daughter of a notable individual tied to the organization, whose death resulted in a state investigation into the church of scientology's practices at Gold Base. there are multiple reliable sources which give detailed coverage of the instance.Coffeepusher (talk) 19:50, 12 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- As I pointed out, the state due to regulations require them to investigate such workplace accidents [1] was cocvered singularly by the local paper and has a one line mention in a second source. The Resident Anthropologist (talk) 00:31, 13 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- yes but how many times has the Gold Base been investigated by that organization? it was significant in regards to scientology.Coffeepusher (talk) 00:43, 13 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - I have to agree with the nominator, there's insufficient coverage of this death in reliable sources to meet our notability guidelines. (Unlike, eg, Lisa McPherson.) I searched for additional RSs, and couldn't find any; there's some mention in anti-Scientology websites of course, but even they don't present any stronger grounds for notability. This death gets a brief mention in Gold Base, which seems appropriate; but I'm not convinced it deserves a separate article. Robofish (talk) 19:38, 13 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

- CommentThe article itself contains a large amount of relevant information regarding the incident. The fact that it still hits anti-scinetology rhetoric 11 years later proves longevity.Coffeepusher (talk) 05:44, 17 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - Just a death-oriented spinoff of missing white woman syndrome; pretty girls that die tragically may get an inordinate amount of tabloid coverage, especially when connected to Scientology. But we still have to separate the wheat from the chaff here and see if the coverage is truly lasting or significant. In this case it is clearly not, just another run-of-the-mill WP:NOTNEWS that this encyclopedia does not need. Tarc (talk) 14:21, 17 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per WP:NOTNEWS. Her death is mentioned in her father's bio; Stacy Meyer could redirect to the relevant subsection of that BLP. --JN466 02:04, 20 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete not notable - Scientology related WP:COATRACK.--Scott Mac 15:18, 23 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Again, I have to agree with Scott Mac. Despite the many and various reasons to criticize the Church of Scientology, this particular death seems to have been genuinely accidental -- the result of negligence and incompetence. There's nothing here to do an article about, honestly. Delete. DS (talk) 15:44, 23 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete, no assertion of notability, neither of Stacy Meyer herself, nor of the circumstances of her death ("..The Coroner determined that Stacy Meyer's death had been an accidental death.."). --Stormie (talk) 22:36, 23 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
