[edit] Curtis Dagenais

Listed for speedy deletion, but I don't think an article about a man who allegedly murdered two police officers has "no assertion of notability." I don't know our precedents on criminal articles very well, so whether he's notable or not I'll leave to others. No vote. -- SCZenz 04:48, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete. I realize such events are less common in Canada than the US, but even so, a criminal killing police officers is not really that notable. Wikipedia is not Canada's Most Wanted. Fan-1967 04:55, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. Notable killer still on the loose, his name recieves 12,600 Google hits and scores of news stories. tmopkisn tlka 05:16, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep per WP:BIO: "The person has been the primary subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the person." -- H·G (words/works) 06:51, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
  • keep please the killer is notable and verifiable Yuckfoo 06:53, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep, meets WP:BIO per HumbleGod's explanation. --Coredesat talk. o.o;; 09:04, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep as per WP:BIO and HumbleGod's comments. Article may need some some cleanup though. We should use caution dealing with ongoing events involving accused but not-yet-convicted criminal suspects. Scorpiondollprincess 16:43, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep per HumbleGod's quoting of the WP:BIO criteria. RFerreira 00:00, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep This is going to be a big deal for a long while, he just turned himself in and there is going to be a trial that will probably be followed nation-wide. Also, WP:BIO. DMighton 23:10, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
