This article was tagged for A7. I declined to delete it per that criteria as there are sources to The Guardian and Le Monde. However, I'm concerned there is not a long-lasting claim to notability here, and simply a one event biography. Your thoughts, please. Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 12:28, 16 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Definitely a single event with no lasting significance. For example Google News only returns articles from August 10th - August 13th for the search Jean-Pierre Renaud murder. Is there a List of unsolved French murders or somesuch it can be merged into? ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 14:30, 16 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete per nom. The only thing that makes this particular murder stick out is the 30 years that elapsed before his body was found. That's not enough. Clarityfiend (talk) 06:10, 24 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete – I did the original A7 tagging. Discussion here reenforces the deletional rationale. No notability.. – S. Rich (talk) 01:43, 27 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Userfy - It too soon to have this as an article, or decide to delete it or not. This is primarily the work of a single user reporting the event where the local police have opened a homicide investigation. Such investigations tend to take a long time (often several years) to resolve, so I think it is too soon to decide if this article is worth having or not. In the meantime, I think Wikipedia judgement should be suspended at least until some judicial authority decides on the facts of the case. In the meantime, the article should be moved to the creating user's workspace to await developments and so the user, and others, can improve it. Also, if there should be a corresponding article on French Wikipedia, what treatment did that article receive? We should not be deleting here if they are not deleting there, we should do the same thing with the subject on both wiki. At the moment there is hardly enough in the article for me to call it a stub for a murder, at the moment it is basically a suspicious dead body found in an abandoned building that the police are investigating as a homicide. It is not even definitively a murder, although that is currently suspected to be the most serious possibility. The article has potential to increase or reduce in notability given time. Meanwhile wait. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 23:17, 27 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
