  • Delete. The article does not assert the notability of the officer, other than sadly being killed on duty. It reads more like a news item than an encyclopedic entry. WWGB 02:15, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. It is sad, but there are unfortunately many line-of-duty deaths for police officers. This is not Wikinews. Realkyhick 02:23, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Sad story, but violation of WP:NOT#NEWS - No historic notability for this Corpx 02:30, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Not notable enough for it's own article. Agreed, sad story, however I don't believe it's anywhere near notable enough. Wikidudeman (talk) 03:36, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - Not suffiently notable. Read a lot about the case, and there doesn't appear to be anything remarkable about the case. Just a dirtbag who gunned down a cop. Montco 03:54, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak keep Let's wait a bit longer and see where this anti-gun thing goes [1]. Not opposed to re-listing if it doesn't result in greater notability. Wl219 12:02, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. There is no notability to the officer, other than sadly being killed in the line of duty. Unfortunately all too many officers are killed in the line of duty worldwide... but most, like Timoshenko, are not notable. I agree that the article reads more like a news item than an encyclopedic entry. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a newspaper. Perhaps this belongs in WikiNews. Tom M. 22:13, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
