[edit] Ryan Park

Do all rapists need their own articles? This doesn't even look like a remotely high porfile case. I say Delete for non-notability. Sasquatch′↔Talk↔Contributions 02:52, Jun 16, 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. Could be a hoax, or an attack page (the chicken thing is a bit much), but ultimately it's just not notable. -- BD2412 ^talk 03:12, 2005 Jun 16 (UTC)
• Delete. I oppose the user that made this article, but on its own the article is pretty useless anyways. The news site it links to is just as sparse on info. -- Consumed Crustacean | Talk | 03:48, Jun 16, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete looks like an attack page. JamesBurns 07:55, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Transwiki to wikinews or delete. There's not enough info to write up a helpful article. - Mgm|^(talk) 09:01, Jun 16, 2005 (UTC)
  • Wikinews could certainly report it, providing a news summary based upon the source and whatever else could be located. However, straight transwikification to Wikinews is not currently legal, as it would involve taking GFDL material and putting it into the public domain. Uncle G 13:18, 2005 Jun 16 (UTC)
• Delete — no, not all rapists need their own articles. — mark ✎ 10:45, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete it's apparently true (article includes link to news story) but still not notable enough. Also, he's charged with assault, not rape. Common crime (sadly) with only the chicken offer to make it "notable" which just isn't enough. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 11:02, Jun 16, 2005 (UTC)
• This is pretty much a news article placed in the wrong project. There's nothing of encyclopaedic value here. The charge is a class A misdemeanour. Keene District Court doesn't deal with major crimes. Wikinews covers the story (in more detail, and with better sources) at Wikinews:"Chicken for sex" meat salesman is charged with assault. Delete.

• Delete: Misplaced, not an article, and it indicates that he's charged with kissing. That is assault, but it's hardly something even worthy of being in the news, much less in the encyclopedia. (Yes, yes, "thigh or breast" "white meat or dark" etc. Your joke here.) Geogre 19:19, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, not notable. StopTheFiling 22:51, Jun 16, 2005 (UTC)
