* '''Weak delete''' The hate crime appears fairly pedestrian yet it has received coverage in the NYT and the Sacramento Bee, and has been syndicated, which could arguably make it a notable incident. This seems to be part of a slightly worrying trend where, for individuals who are [[WP:BLP1E|notable but for one event]], articles morph to an event, which may or may not pass genuine scrutiny. I personally think this does not. I don't see anything coming out of it in the long term.

*'''Keep''' - Meets [[WP:NEVENTS]] with flying colors, this murder case has become a symbol of existing violent racism in the USA, and dominates current public discourse on race. That is a highly notable, encyclopedic topic. We are not a police blotter, but this case is clearly not a pedestrian hate crime as not being treated as such by the RS. Issues around BLP, if any, should be treated in the article, not via deletion of the article on the incident. |

Murder of James Craig Anderson

This article about a violent death that is suspected of being a hate crime violates WP:BLP policy concerning the teenage suspect it names, Deryl Dedmon, particularly WP:NPF. Dedmon has been charged with murder, not convicted of murder. The leaking of prejudicial claims to the newspapers should not be legitimized by Wikipedia. I am also filing an AfD on Deryl Dedmon for the same reason. Sharktopus talk 02:50, 30 August 2011 (UTC)
- Keep WP:BLP does not apply here, but WP:NOTCENSORED does. Choyoołʼįįhí:Seb az86556 > haneʼ 02:54, 30 August 2011 (UTC)
- Keep: Every statement is both well-cited and attribution to individuals are all labeled as alleged, so WP:BLP does not apply. By the nominator's logic, we'd be deleting 2011 Norway attacks as well.
- Beyond that, high profile Lynching in the United States, hate crimes and civil rights cases like this are often exceptions to WP:VICTIM. Examples are Willie Edwards, Michael Donald, Matthew Shepard, Emmett Till, Jimmie Lee Jackson to highlight a few. Sometimes they're covered in an article about the crime like Murder of James Byrd, Jr. as in this case. Toddst1 (talk) 03:02, 30 August 2011 (UTC)
- Weak keep: I'm tempted to think that this passes WP:GEOSCOPE, WP:INDEPTH, and WP:DIVERSE, as the sources are national, with wide and fairly in depth coverage. The long term effects are unable to be known at the moment. Crisco 1492 (talk) 03:15, 30 August 2011 (UTC)
- Keep: Sources are good and article is not harmful to anyone named via BLP.Jarhed (talk) 04:28, 30 August 2011 (UTC)
- Weak delete The hate crime appears fairly pedestrian yet it has received coverage in the NYT and the Sacramento Bee, and has been syndicated, which could arguably make it a notable incident. This seems to be part of a slightly worrying trend where, for individuals who are notable but for one event, articles morph to an event, which may or may not pass genuine scrutiny. I personally think this does not. I don't see anything coming out of it in the long term. Ohconfucius ¡digame! 04:35, 30 August 2011 (UTC)
