[edit] Charlotte Pinkney

Non notable murder victim, Wikipedia is not a news site. Claim that the killer was one of the few people convicted in the absence of a body isn't strictly true as it's not that uncommon, as corpus delict doesn't require an actual body. One Night In Hackney303 11:38, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete In this particular case, notability is not established - indeed, it's not that uncommon. But please don't generalize to all murder cases. YechielMan 11:55, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete: Murder is horrendous but there are just so many murders worldwide and whilst 'Wikipedia is not paper' it saddens me to say to those concerned that in this instance it is not notable enough to keep.--Arthana 12:29, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete Wikipedia is not a "Crimepedia" or a tabloid or a weekly news gazette, so every routine murder does not need an article, even though every murder gets at least a few newspaper articles. WP:NOT says "The fact that someone or something has been in the news for a brief period of time does not automatically justify an encyclopedia article." Edison 17:41, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. Sad, but apparently not notable by our definition. RFerreira 05:39, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
