This article is almost the archeotype of WP:CRIME in that because he is JUST known for the crime and the crime does not fall under unique and unusual stances it should be deleted since it violates BLP. Ask me about air Cryogenic air (talk) 14:34, 8 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment plenty in RS about the sexual accusations and how the university had to pay out millions of dollars, not sure how we can cover this in NPOV. As it is, the article is more about the legal situation than the person. Oaktree b (talk) 16:47, 8 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    • comment Again, it is (sadly) common sexual assualt. It doesn't meet WP:Crime and as such should be merged to Columbia University. (as Andrew Yangs wife is NOT notable, and notability doesn't transfer to her). Thats the main reason why I nominated it for deletion

    NOTE also WP:BLP1E There was another recent AFD which had a very similar situation (and that person had much more than a 1 sentence blurb), that I was reminded of when I put it up for AFD, I know WP:OTHERSTUFF but it is an example here.

  • Keep. It's not just "common sexual assault". This case is getting major media attention. I also want to comment that the nominator did not let me know that the article was for deletion on my user talk page, as it is usually done. Antonio La loca Martin (como?) 19:58, 8 January, 2023 (UTC)
  • Comment Major News coverage is ... literally what WP:CRIME is meant to address. A very similar case (and that BLP had more notability than this one guy does) was determined in a recent AFD to be subject to it. BLPs are a sensitive issue and WP policies are sort of clear. — Preceding unsigned comment added by WngLdr34 (talk • contribs) 22:30, 8 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Curtis N. Ofori is the oddly appt example I was thinking of (its very unusual!) Ask me about air Cryogenic air (talk) 22:48, 8 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete I've looked at the sourcing, I don't think we can pull out enough to keep the article. Coverage is more about the crime than the person that did it. Oaktree b (talk) 16:45, 12 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
