[edit] Lucie Blackman

This is not really a biography, but a detailed account of the circumstances surrounding Ms. Blackman's murder. While there are ample news sources about this event and subsequent court cases, etc., this article should be deleted because Wikipedia is not a sensationalist tabloid. Articles that contain information such as "The man, whose name Lucie did not share with anyone, had offered her a prepaid mobile phone if she would accompany him to a restaurant near the beach" do not, in my opinion, serve an encyclopedic purpose. --Akhilleus (talk) 06:37, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

• Possible Rename to Lucie Blackman case, but otherwise Strong Keep. There are ample reliable sources for this, and Wikipedia is not censored. --Charlene 07:14, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
• Keep and rename (I would prefer Murder of Lucie Blackman, but either is fine). Notable murder case, mentioned by Tony Blair on an official visit to Japan, and covered in-detail in all the major British news outlets. JulesH 12:08, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
