[edit] Mikelle Biggs

Mikelle Biggs (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

Description of circumstances under which this child disappeared in 1999. Sadly, there is nothing notable about either the child or the circumstances of her disappearance. No references, and Google-hits are essentially limited to child-find websites with varying and sometimes contradictory stories, and Wikipedia mirrors. Risker (talk) 04:23, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

• Delete. Belongs on a milk carton, not in an encyclopedia. Qworty (talk) 10:05, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
• Keep As I know there are many article of wikipedia for victioms of crime or missed. As I can inderstand from the article this case reached the headlines of US news. User: Lucifero4 —Preceding comment was added at 10:07, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
• Delete per nom - needs more sources.   — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 10:24, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
• Keep, In my opinion you should not vote a "Delete" only because an article lacks references. Place an {{unsourced}} "tag" in the article. The "Biggs" case made national headlines in the United States and is considered one of the most important cases of a missing child in Arizona, see: Arizona Republic - Detective Files: Mikelle Biggs Tony the Marine (talk) 02:53, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

• Unfortunately the link you've provided seems to go to some sort of index, although I was able to call up some stories at this related link, which requires registration for access. I did check the first several hundred google hits for any news stories, but came up empty; you've found more than I did. Any other way to get to the link you've provided? Unfortunately, without more than what we have now, we can't demonstrate the notability of her disappearance, which is the reason for this AfD. Risker (talk) 03:09, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

• Keep. She still hasn't been found. Now save all your "wikipedia is not a..." talk. WE CAN ACTUALLY HELP HER BE FOUND by keeping this page. I hope you show heart here. Secondly,if she is on an FBI or government file for missing children, which I assure you she is, she is notable enough to be kept, specially on a case like hers where the FBI has even released an updated photo which is well available to the public on the Internet. Mikelle Biggs did not ask to become famous. Unfortunately, she did. Antonio Save the Children Martin 12:38, 24 March, 2008 (UTC)
• Delete WP:BIO1E. possibly being on a government file does not give notability. Reywas92^Talk 17:18, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
