[edit] Mirely López

The biography of a child who was allegedly the survivor of a massacre. Number of problems here 1) Can't verify it. [[1]] - Google almost blanks. 2) May violate BLP - as only notable for involvement in one incident. 3) I'd be tempted to merge the article into an article on the massacre, except the massacre is undefined and may not be notable enough for an article. 4) The first afd someone rather absurdly said keep "unless de-verified" and the closing admin seemed satified. So, delete unless verified. If verified please merge.--Doc^g 08:53, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

• Delete, signifigance is only regional. -Ĭ₠ŴΣĐĝё 08:29, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
• Delete, per nomination. I'm surprised this got even regional notability. Resurgent insurgent 09:09, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
• Delete - Cannot be verified. Maybe the original author can track down some more references - Until then, lock it away. - Tiswas^(t) 10:14, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
• Note: This debate has been included in the list of Guatemala-related deletions. -- John Vandenberg 13:02, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
• Delete: fails WP:V, WP:BIO. The Prensa Libre link is the only one of a handful of relevant links that isn't a Wiki mirror, so this would fail WP:V on that account alone. The Prensa Libre link, incidentally, isn't loading.  RGTraynor  14:24, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
• Comment, here is a news report for the event; four people were killed. The details of the article dont match exactly. John Vandenberg 14:40, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Wikipedia is not a weekly news gazette. WP:NOT says "The fact that someone or something has been in the news for a brief period of time does not automatically justify an encyclopedia article." One article , which does not even support all the claims in the article, specifically the claim of a massacre, does not justify an encyclopedia article. Edison 17:51, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
• Delete as unverifiable, non-notable, soapbox, crimepedia, cruft. Bearian 20:37, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. I tend toward trying to find some place for these topics, but I don't see one here. This "massacre" was apparently the murder of four people in the same household. A tragic crime, to be certain, but from the article's phrasing, I was expecting the subject to have survived some sort of significant paramilitary action. There is no evidence that this event, or this subject, has had a significant impact in any wider debates, controversies, or issues. Serpent's Choice 14:32, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
