The subject of this article has received media coverage solely because he was 12 years old at the time he committed a crime. A Google News search returns no sources that indicate lasting notability (apart from parole violations), and nothing to satisfy the notability requirement for perpetrators of crimes. -- Lear's Fool 13:45, 24 January 2011 (UTC) Nomination withdrawn -- Lear's Fool 23:32, 24 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. If he's New Zealand's youngest-ever convicted killer then he's notable. -- Necrothesp (talk) 16:47, 24 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - clearly notable as youngest killer.--BabbaQ (talk) 18:47, 24 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - looking at the press coverage, he also appears to be a yard-stick against which other young killers are being measured, which sounds to me close to the definition of notorious. Stuartyeates (talk) 19:29, 24 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. His recent offenses have been relatively minor, however, the fact that the media chooses to report on them goes to show that his involvement in the initial crime was notable. In other words, the media typically does not report trivial crimes on non-notable individuals. This meets WP:BASIC of WP:BIO. Location (talk) 21:14, 24 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Pretty notable. The Choy case was very high profile. Youngest killer is notable per WP:CRIMINAL. Adabow (talk · contribs) 21:27, 24 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
