Comment: There's been Wikipedia:Notability (news)|some discussion, although no apparent consensus, about the standards that news reports about crimes need to rise to in order to be proper encyclopedia subjects.  Versus the obvious fact that they typically ''do'' usually meet the |basic standard of disinterested, third party coverage, there is the sense that we ought not to be creating a memorial to every crime or criminal.  As to the specifics of this crime, while half a ton of cocaine is nothing to sniff at &mdash; aye, it's a great deal to sniff at &mdash; it isn't particularly impressive by U.S. standards; there are at least several thousand people in U.S. prisons who could top that.  There are, of course, also  considerations when living dealing with people who are accused, or stand convicted of crimes.  Have any important legal or police precedents been set by his case

Comment: the criterion for criminal notability is still ambiguous, but I think this article does fit the general criteria of inclusion set by , since the person has been main subject of articles on several national newspapers. Until new rules for notability of criminals are set by wiki community, I say now we should keep it, at least for now
