Comment: It's clearly not a  for the simple reason that it is not a biography, it is a summary of a ''case'', and a pretty interestingly ramified one. BLP1E policy says: ''In such cases, it is usually better to merge the information and redirect the person's name to the event article.'' -But this ''is'' the event article already, so problem solved.  has no relevance here -the case is cleary |notable for several good news sources and it is not OTNEWS given the long time range of the coverage. I see no other OT concerns here (to answer JohnCD above). Also, the fact that "it is not uncommon that a person disappears and is found dead in unclear circumstances" is completely irrelevant: we do not judge if something is unusual or not, we judge if it is |verifiable, |notable and OT|appropriate for the encyclopedia. This article seems to satisfy all these requirements without problems

Comment: The deletion rationale includes  but it's totally unlike the usual memorial articles: it's details of the investigation and political significance rather than a description of her life sourced by the usual news articles that tend to appear after tragic deaths. As for , it covers not a single news story but an investigation that raises diplomatic questions, sparked intervention at the highest levels of government and is even used by politicians in a third country (UK) to criticize each other for not pursuing a separate case in the same way the French did.  doesn't apply because it's not a bio, which I suspect is what the original (deleted) article was

Comment: Its not the greatest article I've ever seen, but it seems to move past  and  by demonstrating that it's become a fairly wide reaching story, involving potential diplomacy issues between two countries
