Keep This crime meets WP:N/CA as a prolonged disappearance that authorities said was a likely criminal act. It was, in fact, a murder. The article now includes references from three of California's leading newspapers including the Los Angeles Times hundreds of miles away. Media coverage is ongoing as the trial approaches, and is likely (in part) to continue as both accused and victim are women. This murder is far more notable than most killings.

Please also see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Michelle Le where consensus was that the article should be kept. I expanded the article and moved it to its current name at that time. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 04:07, 13 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep As per above and consensus on other article. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 12:34, 13 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep -This crime meets WP:N/CA--BabbaQ (talk) 15:32, 13 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep—This one got widespread coverage, so it meets the requirements of WP:EVENT. Livit⇑^Eh?/_What? 16:15, 13 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The article had not been updated since its creation last September, but coverage has been ongoing. I added several more recent news stories to the article. This is a notorious case and it's clear that coverage will be ongoing. --MelanieN (talk) 00:21, 17 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep; article subject meets notability requirements based on WP:N/CA and WP:GNG which has lead to coverage nationally (including on CNN). --RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 01:51, 18 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep already meets notability requirements even before the trial has commenced.--Shakehandsman (talk) 07:35, 18 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
