(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

WP:BLPCRIME and WP:PERP. We don't have articles on any of the police officers involved in the shooting of Michael Brown, the death of Freddy Gray, the death of Eric Garner, the shooting of Justine Damond, the shooting of Philando Castile, etc. I don't see what's so special about him at the moment. Besides, a conviction hasn't been secured for him, so this biographical article is quite dangerous at the moment. Love of Corey (talk) 04:04, 3 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Speedy delete. We already have a redirect at Derek Chauvin. This title with the unnecessary disambiguation doesn't even have the benefit of being a valuable redirect. Maybe it could be speedy-deleted per WP:A10? -- MelanieN (talk) 04:11, 3 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong delete per WP:BLP1E, more specifically criteria n°1. --letcreate123 (talk) 04:20, 3 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    If criteria n°1 is "If reliable sources cover the person only in the context of a single event." Here are some reliable sources that cover him from years ago. Subesquent articles that have covered his previous life and his divorce are shaded by the context of the single event but they are not covered ONLY in the context of the single event. Kire1975 (talk) 06:22, 3 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - This is a very straightforward WP:CRIME matter. Delete instead of merge/redirect because the main article doesn't need any of this content and Derek Chauvin is already a redirect. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 05:15, 3 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy Delete Falls into WP:CRIME Regice2020 (talk) 05:21, 3 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong delete agree with nom. BLPCRIME, PERP, BLP1E. Probably should speedy delete as this article contravenes BLP in a big way. It also duplicates material in an existing article - Killing of George Floyd. Agree with speedy per WP:A10. ---Steve Quinn (talk) 05:23, 3 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Precedent was set with Laurence Powell and Stacey Koon, if not before.Kire1975 (talk) 06:06, 3 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: A10 imho would only apply if Derek Chauvin was an article, not a redirect. If this article was kept, it would have to be moved there. This is not eligible for speedy deletion anyway though because it would not be uncontroversial as WP:CSD requires. Kire1975's argument that WP:BLP1E and WP:CRIME do not apply if there is prior coverage of the subject's life is one that cannot be rejected without discussion (see WP:BLP2E). If this article only mentions information that would go or is found in Killing of George Floyd anyway, its existence alone cannot be a BLP violation since BLP applies everywhere equally.

  • Comment Clearly Powell and Koon's articles fail to provide notability outside of that incident Powell more so than Koon should be deleted too. Chauvin would only be notable if one of his previous gained media attention at the time. Games of the world (talk) 08:27, 3 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
