This one really bothers me, but I can't avoid the issue. It's one thing to say "nonnotable" about a minor league rapper who's just trying to promote his recent CD on Wikipedia. It's another thing to say "nonnotable" about a young girl who disappeared in the Great Smoky Mountains 30 years ago - especially when the article is 15 minutes old and was written by a good editor. Unless there's a basic assumption that all missing people are notable, I don't see a way to justify inclusion. YechielMan 03:59, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Keep Give the article some time for someone to assert the girl's notability. Maybe there was a small media frenzy from some resultant missing pretty white girl syndrome. Blueaster 04:05, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

• Delete as even though this is a bit Picnic at Hanging Rock, it doesn't seem notable that somebody (almost certainly) fell and died while hiking. No results on Google News Archive nor Google Books. The web results are all speculation-heavy amateur criminology sites. I'd even have trouble with inclusion if there were a body an a homicide ruling. Also, while I believe in being kind to new editors, all articles should have a reasonable basis for notability, and AFD offers up to five days for reasonable improvement.--Dhartung | Talk 04:20, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Personally, I would delete this sort of article even if the event is modern and there are national news stories. The "notoriety" lasts a few days and then is gone, unless it leads to new laws or some other long-lasting effect. And the person involved, the lost girl or boy, is usually less important than the generalized image of "The Lost Child". Brianyoumans 07:54, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
