Clear case of WP:ONEEVENT, and WP:NOTNEWS also applies. This individual apparently committed a number of unusual sexual assaults in the 1960s and 1970s. These crimes received some local news coverage. There is also a claim that a song and a film were inspired by them, but no sources are provided for these assertions. The only sources cited are local newspapers. There isn't enough material here for an article, certainly not a BLP. *** Crotalus *** 20:09, 23 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - I disagree with the deletion. He seems like it's a subject that is rather avid on Google so it was obviously not a 1 time event. He was a criminal, and seems decently documented. businessman332211 (talk) 20:13, 23 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- See WP:GHITS — just because a person or incident has a lot of search engine hits does not mean they automatically meet notability requirements. What we need is reliable sources that show non-trivial coverage that goes beyond just the local news. *** Crotalus *** 21:29, 23 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. Nothing on google books or scholar, little enough on a general search once -wiki -wikipedia added to the term, and two stories from the Chicago Tribune for 1975 in google news. Google is not the be all and end all of sources, but this simply won't do, certainly not for a BLP. --Paularblaster (talk) 21:09, 26 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Extremely weak keep. "Enema Bandit, -zappa" does get a fair number of GBook hits, however, very few of them mention the subject by name nor is there much depth to the reports. The Frank Zappa song is real and is likely more notable that the subject of this article. Location (talk) 19:28, 27 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak keep This will be very hard to source from typical internet age sources and it appears on the bottom that there are significant paper archives out there. This is a unique type of rape that certainly caught media attention at the time, and moves this away from the typical NOTNEWS argument. Miami33139 (talk) 17:33, 29 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep: a subject that is avid on Google - Ret.Prof (talk) 22:36, 29 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Added some references from Google Books and Scholar. Jokestress (talk) 21:57, 30 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
