The previous AfD in 2018 closed as delete. I'm not convinced that anything has changed and WP:NOTNEWS still applies. Spiderone 09:55, 11 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I understand that the article you were referring to was deleted because this one exists. PatGallacher (talk) 18:00, 15 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It was deleted due to WP:NOTNEWS. I don't see a lasting impact so I think NOTNEWS still applies now. Spiderone 23:28, 15 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:NOTNEWS. Failed to meet WP:LASTING. Tessaracter (talk) 10:49, 20 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: I disagree. First off, the "previous AfD" quoted was of another article, and happened right after the incident; it closed largely on the strength of TOOSOON, which does not apply here. As far as a lasting impact goes, a simple search turned up dozens of news hits published in the last year [1], well after the incident happened. If the lynching is still in the news -- and with news items over the last few months such as legislation citing it, the recent launch of a social media campaign prompted by it, editorials citing it, a protester cycling across the country -- it's tough to claim that its impact was ephemeral.

Keep: and update to include the outcome of the court case as shown here:[2] --Whiteguru (talk) 10:32, 3 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Based on the sources found by Ravenswing and Whiteguru, I think the article meets GNG and WP:EVENTCRIT. // Timothy :: talk 06:39, 6 September 2020 (UTC) // Timothy :: talk 06:39, 6 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
