Delete - reads like a memorial to the victim of a tragic but otherwise non-Wikipedic death. Otto4711 09:09, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

• Weak Keep - large number of references testify to the existence of multiple non-trivial news coverage of this death. Murder victims aren't inherently notable, but it looks like this one is. Walton monarchist89 11:24, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep: this murder case has attracted wide media attention and is hence much more notable than many articles in Wikipedia. Rosemary Amey 16:23, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
• Weak keep The tone is a bit memorial-ish, but since this has garnered attention outside of the local sphere, thus multiple coverages, thus a weak keep. SkierRMH 20:01, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep notable person. What's a non-Wikipedic death? --Majorly _{(o rly?)} 20:41, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep: Sources establish notability. If indeed it's too memorial-like, that can be improved. Not a reason to delete, IMHO. Heimstern Läufer 22:51, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete unless the section at the bottom that establishes notability ("Effects on child care") gets proper sources. At the moment, it has no citations. Doczilla 06:28, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. Sources establish notability. I personally think this sort of "nobody will care about this in 5 years" stuff belongs at Wikinews, but that's just a pipe dream. --- RockMFR 16:34, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep I started the article and I don't take it personally that the article was nominated for deletion, but the trial of Marcus' foster mom is about to begin. They're taking care of the jury selection today in her case so media attention is bound to increase. His foster father's trial is supposed to begin next month too. The last time I worked on the article I only had the basics and I don't believe it read like a memorial, because I purposely did a lot of research including court documents to make sure I was dotting my "i"s and crossing my "t"s. Anywho, if there's a problem with the article, in the way it reads, why not just fix it? Peace. -- Sapphire 21:01, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
