[edit] Jared Gipson
Hapless criminal. Falls into category of people known only for being in the news once. NawlinWiki 18:02, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
- Keep, widely covered in respectable media, verifiable. Doesn't matter if it was once or twice. Needs wikifying though. --Javit 19:10, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
- Delete. I think it does matter if it was once, per WP:NOT#INFO: "Wikipedia properly considers the long-term historical notability of persons and events, keeping in mind the harm our work might cause. The fact that someone or something has been in the news for a brief period of time does not automatically justify an encyclopedia article." Why so many Wikipedians are willing to ignore this bit of official policy is something I just don't understand. Deor 20:36, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
- Speedy delete, extreme WP:BLP violation. Corvus cornix 20:46, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
