Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Amadou Cisse (student)

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was delete. One commenter suggested a merge, but no appropriate merge target was suggested (the main article of a university is not really the right place to discuss a criminal victim). —David Eppstein (talk) 06:20, 8 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Amadou Cisse (student)

Non-notable murder victim with some press coverage. Violates WP:BLP1E. Corvus cornix_talk 19:03, 29 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Was this really so important that it needs to be deleted now? Article does not seem to be a BLP, but I share your concern, as I expressed on the talk page after I created the article by request. Merge to article containing a "crime" section for the University of Chicago or Hyde Park, Chicago, which does not currently exist, and which is debated on the former's talk page. Until that such destination exists, this well-cited article is benign where it sits. Cool Hand Luke 20:32, 29 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - unless a suitable merge can be found. We don't keep pseudo-bios like this. Although perhaps this is one for wikinews and not us--Doc^g 22:27, 29 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. This is a current affairs topic, not an encyclopedia article. From What Wikipedia is not:

Memorials. Wikipedia is not the place to honor departed friends and relatives. Subjects of encyclopedia articles must be notable besides being fondly remembered.

- Comment. Why not merge? I know this can't be a seperate topic, but it's undoubtably an important milestone in the broad topic of University or Hyde Par crime. ~~Incidentally, could some of the immediatists here vote at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Aron Tendler; an article about a still-living figure who has less notable coverage about him than Cisse here?~~ Cool Hand Luke 23:43, 29 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Newsworthy, but not encyclopedia material. Slideshow Bob (talk) 02:19, 30 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to the University of Chicago's page. The information is important as it may shift the university's security policy or may be needed for future reference.User: Mojojojo69 10:06, 4 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
