~~As tragic as this is, Wikipedia is not a memorial site. Event itself fails WP:V and WP:N. 2 says you, says two 05:37, 22 October 2010 (UTC)~~[reply]

I rescind my nomination - the spelling confusion noted below made me think this didn't receive significant coverage. 2 says you, says two 21:12, 25 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Your opinion noted, you are wrong, and unnecessarily interfering with the dissemination of public information.

This is not "memorabilia", this individual was at the center of a historical event which received significant media attention to make it a likely subject of information searches. The circumstances of her death and the coverage they received makes this a notable case, your facetious comment about "memorial sites" not withstanding.--APDEF (talk) 06:29, 22 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Please read the policy WP:VICTIM. This is the story of a terrible tragedy and quite possibly a crime. However, the young woman who died in this incident does not meet Wikipedia's notability standards. Cullen328 (talk) 07:22, 22 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, as above - Miller is the victim of an awful, tragic crime, but that alone doesn't put her at the level of notability required for wikipedia. Dylanfromthenorth (talk) 08:15, 22 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, as tragic as this is, Wikipedia is not a memorial site. JIP | Talk 08:23, 22 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Strong keep Possibly with a move to Killing of Taisha Miller (or a more sensitively worded title). The article as written is not a memorial or biography, it describes a specific event that by any measure was notable, including coverage by the NY Times (9 articles), LA Times, CNN, Salon, etc., etc... In any case, WP:VICTIM states "2. The victim, consistent with WP:BLP1E, had a large role within a well-documented historic event. The historic significance is indicated by persistent coverage of the event in reliable secondary sources that devote significant attention to the individual's role." I believe the news sources available would satisfy this criterion. Catfish Jim and the soapdish (talk) 09:31, 22 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- In that case I withdraw my delete vote and request the article to be cleaned up and more sources to be added. Oh, and all the sources you mention above cite her name as Tyisha Miller, not Taisha Miller. JIP | Talk 09:58, 22 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - Done, suggest Snow keep is now the most appropriate action. Catfish Jim and the soapdish (talk) 12:04, 22 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
