The result was delete. An article on the crime, or a section of the university's article should be judged independently, but as a biography, no, this is 1E, and BLP does apply to the recently deceased. Courcelles (talk) 21:12, 22 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Believe this is a case of 1E Gbawden (talk) 11:34, 15 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

A technical question: does WP:BLP1E still apply when the subject has recently died? Cordless Larry (talk) 11:40, 15 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- WP:BDP might apply in this particular case, but not sure. Even if it doesn't, WP:CRIME might be more relevant since it says "A person who is known only in connection with a criminal event or trial should not normally be the subject of a separate Wikipedia article if there is an existing article that could incorporate the available encyclopedic material relating to that person." It is unlikely that Lamb would otherwise be notable for a stand-alone article, so I think it needs to be shown that Lamb satisfies the criteria in "For perpetrators" in WP:CRIME. - Marchjuly (talk) 13:33, 15 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Note: Nomination rationale has been changed to WP:1E since I made my comment above. Cordless Larry (talk) 14:52, 15 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete WP:1E and WP:NOTNEWS. EricSerge (talk) 21:20, 15 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Delta State University which carries mention of the only event this person is notable for. If a dedicated article for the crime is created then redirect there. GraniteSand (talk) 06:32, 16 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

That's my thought so far. This was a tragic event, but the coverage for this is actually surprisingly light. I'm not entirely sure that this would merit a separate article at this point in time, to be honest. (By this I mean an article on the shooting, not Lamb specifically.) I also think that the shooting itself should be revisited in a few years to see if it's notable enough to really be in the article either, since we have a tendency to include things with the idea that it'll gain more coverage over time.

But that's for the future and including it in the college's article will possibly help discourage people from re-adding it for the time being, if this is deleted. I'm going to try to clean up Lamb's article and see if there's anything that can be done with it, just to make sure, though. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 07:27, 16 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Here is a writeup of the article centering around the event itself. It contains more information but I'm still sort of leaning towards 1E on this. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 08:37, 16 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, I just went and added it to the article. If anyone wants to revert, feel free. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 08:41, 16 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: This definitely will not be notable in the long run. Just a run-of-the-mill incident of domestic violence. Versus001 (talk) 01:09, 19 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah... there was a flurry of news articles but now it's slowed down to a trickle other than the posts about the upcoming funerals and some speculation about the guy's motives. I'm definitely leaning towards not really notable in the long run unless there's some epiphany on his motives or some law gets passed. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 04:29, 19 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
