[edit] Tyler Dumstorf

Contested speedy, I restored it after the article creator gave me references. Article on a kid who shot two police officers before committing suicide. However, Wikipedia isn't a crime log (which the sources available could only be used to write), and not every perpetrator of a crime is automatically deserving of inclusion within an encyclopedia, even if he commits suicide after the fact.

Delete because Wikipedia is not a news report. It seems that this is all that this article could ever be. Sancho 03:29, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

• Delete Newsworthy is not noteworthy. Resolute 04:04, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
• Delete I agree that unless a crime attracts wide and/or continuing interest, leads to a change in the law, or is otherwise actually notable, it does not deserve notice. And the same goes for the criminal, and the victim. This incident seems tragic, but at best 15 minutes of fame. Brianyoumans 04:07, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Agreed, crime is always tragic, but not always notable. Montco 04:28, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

• Delete Wikipedia is not a news service, and that's all it can be in this case. Hut 8.5 13:58, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Tragic deaths, but newsworthy is not necessarily encyclopedic. Wikipedia is not a tabloid newspaper. Edison 15:06, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
• Weak delete Although I think such incidents can be notable, the one local citation is not enough to show notability .DGG 18:05, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
• Delete These days, nearly every murder in North America gets enough coverage to satisfy WP:V, but this situation is no more notable than any other murder of a police officer. Caknuck 21:16, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
• Delete, I listed it for speedy deletion, and I still believe it should be speedied. No notability whatsoever. Corvus cornix 01:37, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

Note It was speedy deleted, but that was contested. Thus, it has to go through AFD---where it WILL be deleted. That is a forgone conclusionBalloonman 04:49, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
