Suicide of Amy Everett[edit]

Fails WP:EVENTCRIT and WP:BIO1E (the article is written about the individual, not the event as the title might suggest). Any wide coverage in independent sources is unlikely to be SUSTAINED. Kb.au (talk) 23:59, 3 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Delete. This one is difficult but I believe that WP:ONEEVENT applies. Lankiveil ^{(speak to me)} 00:24, 4 February 2018 (UTC).[reply]
Keep for now: The aftermath is broad enough that NOTNEWS doesn't apply and EVENTCRIT#2 applies (national and limited international coverage, independent memorial activities, speech by the PM, subsequent analysis, etc), and appears to be ongoing. There's the likelihood that the issue of cyberbullying will be raised at COAG next week (in which case expect further related stories on Feb 10-11), and probably subsequent legislative changes referencing Everett's death. We're in the middle of things, but I think SUSTAINED will be more likely than not. BIO1E is not an argument for zero articles, but for fewer and more general articles, and at the moment there's no better place for this article (though perhaps long term the Dolly's Dream Foundation may reach a level of notability sufficient to be able to fairly retarget the article and/or this may be best redirected to a Background section of a related article). ^~Hydronium^~Hydroxide^~(Talk)~ 06:57, 4 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Wikipedia is not a newspaper nor a memorial nor a repository of every local suicide due to unfortunate external factors. This is not sufficiently encyclopedic or notable. SunChaser (talk) 12:09, 5 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete This is a tragic topic, and I really feel for her family. However, it does not meet Wikipedia's criteria for a stand-alone article. Given that the incident attracted considerable coverage, I'd suggest adding this to the List of suicides that have been attributed to bullying article.
