as per WP:NOTNEWS and WP:EVENT. "Editors should bear in mind recentism, the tendency for new and current matters to seem more important than they might seem in a few years time. Many events receive coverage in the news and yet are not of historic or lasting importance". unfortunately people disappear all the time and get murdered by ex-partners, don't see how this merits a WP article.

Delete WP:NOTMEMORIAL and not obituary. 76.66.194.128 (talk) 06:02, 29 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:NOTNEWS. For an event to be notable it is required to have lasting coverage extending significantly beyond the event, or be a significant and well-discussed precursor to or result of another notable event. - DustFormsWords (talk) 06:19, 29 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep. As the subject may relate to missing white woman syndrome and possibly for that reason has received national media coverage, that should suffice to satisfy our general notability requirements. I agree that the article may resemble an obituary as the level of detailing of the victim's life does appear exaggerated given the relevant focus at what would constitute notability for it as a Wikipedia article. However, that is not an argument for deletion. I also believe that NOTNEWS should probably not come to use here, but I'm a bit unsure. __meco (talk) 09:36, 29 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
