The individual is not WP:notable as Wikipedia defines it, and neither is her disappearance. I did a thorough search for coverage, and updated the article with what I found. This appears to be a routine missing-persons case; the police believe the girl is a runaway. News coverage has been almost entirely local and on social media sites. But Wikipedia is not the news, and it is not Facebook. MelanieN (talk) 22:18, 6 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You are missing a fact. Her story was on NBC News, Also known as "National Broadcasting Company" @MelanieN:. Missing in America: Hannah Thomas Garner - NBC News -- CookieMonster755 (talk) 23:55, 6 January 2015 (UTC)CookieMonster755[reply]

Yes, it was. It was also mentioned by the Huffington Post. In both cases, it was clear the contact/coverage had been initiated by the father, and was a "courtesy" report on a missing person. (And you will notice I said "almost" entirely local coverage.) I'm not seeing sustained reportage outside of the immediate local area; sustained coverage would be required to take it out of the category of WP:NOTNEWS and WP:ONEEVENT. And the subject doesn't qualify for inclusion under WP:CRIME, since there is no evidence a crime has been committed. --MelanieN (talk) 00:12, 7 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I am very sorry for yelling, its not appropriate. As much as I don't want it deleted, it should be deleted. Please delete it. CookieMonster755 (talk) 01:58, 7 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I can't/won't delete someone else's comment. If you want, you can change it to lowercase where appropriate. --MelanieN (talk) 05:22, 7 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@MelanieN: -- I mean the article, about Hannah Thomas-Garner. You're right, it should be deleted under WP:Notable. CookieMonster755 (talk)£

Delete I hope she is found but she is not notable and Wikipedia is not the news. Any efforts focused on this page would be better used spreading the word on social media. Valfontis (talk) 01:27, 7 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Delete. WP:NOTNEWS, however potentially unfortunate. Despite low turnout at this AFD, it probably could have gone without a relist, as both editors with significant contributions to the article (including the creator) now advocate for deletion, above.

Sad Delete as above. I wish the very best to this missing child, but we are not the world police. -Augustabreeze (talk) 03:23, 14 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
