[edit] Barbara Mann

Delete. With all sympathy for those involved, this page regards the victim of an auto accident and is non-notable. Lockley 05:16, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

Keep. Legalities involved in the investigation as well as the fact it was featured on CNN twice make it notable enough for at least a short entry. Swatjester 05:57, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

Delete. per nom. 4.224.156.211 06:15, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

Abstain for now. Lockley and Swatjester both made good arguments. Delete/Move to Wikinews. Royboycrashfan 06:31, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

• Keep, exceptional tragedies should be considered notable. This is not a run-of-the-mill auto accident -- if I scrape my fender, then write an article about it, it's non-notable. The described in this article are both sad and notable. Adrian Lamo · (talk) · (mail) · 07:16, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete FITP. Sadly, the bias for keeping subject matter related to minor news items on WP (which thereby absurdly conflates media coverage with encyclopedic value) is strongly ingrained. If this fails as no consensus, bring it back in two months when she'll be forgotten and we can Delete her then. Eusebeus 08:15, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. This did receive a lot of media attention due to the unbelievably tragic circumstances, but I don't think it should be something that really needs to be in WP. Eusebeus is right, by April, no one will remember this, and certainly no one will need to read a WP article on by what will at that time have become just another accident.

• Delete WP:NOT a memorial. Wikinews it that way ----> Just zis  Guy, you know? ^[T]/_[C] 22:06, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. There are a lot of sad things in this world that just aren't encyclopedic. This woman is the mother of the victims, not even the victim herself. NickelShoe 23:29, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Non-notable people and Wikipedia is not the obits page. —Brim 05:43, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per precedent. Wikinews can take it, although transwikification from here to there doesn't work for licensing reasons. Stifle 15:54, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Tragic, but non-notable. Avi 16:22, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
