The result was delete. Rough consensus that the article doesn't meet the notability requirements for an EVENT per WP:LASTING (as in reliable sources - this is not an indication it doesn't have personal lasting effects) Nosebagbear (talk) 23:07, 4 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:NOTNEWS. A very tragic case, but it is a sadly common occurrence. The sport player hashtag is not enough to justify encyclopedic inclusion. AmericanAir88^(talk) 22:57, 28 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. It was a tragic event that got a blip of national coverage due to a social media campaign, but it does not appear to have WP:LASTING interest or impact beyond the routine crime-trial-punishment news cycle. Wikipedia is not a newspaper, nor is it a memorial. • Gene93k (talk) 01:33, 29 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Sad, yes, but otherwise does not meet the requirements for WP:NOTNEWS. --Darth Mike^(talk) 15:05, 29 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Page creator User:ImYourTurboLover left a talk page message stating they "object to the deletion because the event gained national coverage (I cited sources), and still affects people years later." --Darth Mike^(talk) 13:22, 30 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
