Fails WP:SOLDIER and WP:GNG, a U.S. lieutenant airman shot down in World War II and murdered by the Nazis is not inherently notable. Under Wikipedia:Notability (people)#Crime victims and perpetrators "A person who is known only in connection with a criminal event or trial should not normally be the subject of a separate Wikipedia article if there is an existing article that could incorporate the available encyclopedic material relating to that person" and there is a separate and larger article for his murderer, Nazi Alfred-Ingemar Berndt Mztourist (talk) 10:20, 17 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I am going to say keep, I don't like the idea of a redirect to the article of the person that murdered him. Also, covered by more than five different authors, although they are short points I think it all adds up to just pass notability. Govvy (talk) 11:29, 17 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- On the basis of what WP policy/criteria? He's not "covered by more than five different authors", there is one newspaper report and findagrave.com which is not WP:RS, all the rest is about Berndt and the Nazi policy against "terror-flyers". Mztourist (talk) 11:36, 17 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Alfred-Ingemar Berndt, where the murder is mentioned. Per nom, this is a tragedy but not a notable one. Fails WP:BIO1E, WP:SOLDIER, and WP:GNG. b uidhe 10:10, 19 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
