Articles for deletion This article was nominated for deletion on 24 March 2008. The result of the discussion was keep.

This article mentions the family was shot to death, but shooting has not been confirmed. It was blunt-force trauma. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.94.42.235 (talk) 23:59, 25 March 2008 (UTC)


Just saw that Wikipedia may delete this article. That would be a strange departure from past practice... lots of murderers are on Wikipedia. I found one of the Brown's Chicken killers on here, for instance. Dennis Rader the Wichita BTK killer. Jeffrey Dahmer. They're all on Wikipedia. If Sueppel is going to be deleted for reasons of good taste, then Wikipedia has a heck of a cleanup job getting rid of hundreds of other pages. I think this page ought to be left up. Wikipedia is a place people go for information such as names and dates, and some of the things that happen in the world are highly unpleasant. Why delete them from the collective information space? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.201.167.95 (talk) 06:08, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Where does it say it's being deleted for bad taste? I don't think it's being considered for that reason, is it? While I don't take a position either way, I think it would be far more likely that it is being considered because it may be thought that a man in the middle of the US killing his family is not important enough to merit a Wikipedia entry. Perhaps there could be some clarification? --Sephiroth9611 (talk) 19:03, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
