[edit] John Hogan (accused murderer)

John Hogan (accused murderer) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Unnotable and serious BLP concerns (this is a tragic case of a man considered unfit to stand trial for killing his son), the name is POV and the article contains almost nothing (had a notability tag since January), SqueakBox 17:46, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete. No real notability, especially if he hasn't even been charged with anything. Crazysuit 17:59, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete BLP problems right down to the title: it seems to me that for BLP purposes, "accused" should mean formally charged and put on trial. Otherwise we leave the door open to all sorts of wacky "accused..." articles. Besides, doesn't seem to have been a particularly notable case by encyclopedic standards.

  • Delete per nom. Wikidudeman (talk) 18:07, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete (although he has been formally charged, he is under psychiatric observation and awaiting trial) this is not a significant case per WP:BLP1E. --Dhartung | Talk 19:19, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Non-notable, POV title etc. Violation of WP:BLP.--PrestonH 19:32, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete as above - WP:BLP issues galore. Tony Fox (arf!) 20:17, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per most above.--JForget 00:45, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment While I don't see the article as worth keeping, I'd like to point out that the case itself is notable, having been featured on several newspaper's front pages on multiple occasions, and therefore meeting the requirements of WP:N. I don't think, however, there should be an article about this person. JulesH 10:50, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
