[edit] Susan Lucille Wright
Article about a living person convicted of murder; currently only sourced to one news story. Other than the salacious and dramatic nature of the crime, I can't figure out why this individual is considered notable (any more so than any other violent criminal) -- unlike, say, the vaguely similar Lorena Bobbitt case, this crime does not seem to have entered mainstream coverage or the popular imagination. Apparently the trial caused some comment when the prosecuters reenacted the crime, but I can't find too much about that -- Lexis-Nexis has only three items, two of which are records from the court and one a quick AP story. Searching on her full name, there are only 67 google hits, many of which are Wikipedia mirrors; a search of the database "America's Newspapers" (library subscription only, covers the national press) comes up with only 16 stories, most from local (Texas) papers. While clearly this incident happened, the article seems unencyclopedic and poorly sourced, and as it stands a violation of the BLP policy. Though I'm generally inclusionist, this seems like an area in which to particularly take care with what articles we include. NB: if the decision is to keep, I'll stub and source it as best I'm able, but the results seem likely to be unsatisfactory. phoebe / (talk) 19:46, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

- Delete - poorly referenced, and a case with little notoriety. Since it's a living person's biography, we have to be tough about this. Matthew Brown (Morven) (T:C) 21:19, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
