Deletion of Meleanie Hain

Comment: While I'm sure the merges are in the best of faith, I would be strongly against it.  The novelty of a gun advocate getting shot is just that, novelty and doesn't represent any significant minority position.  It would instead be a "ha, look at that, she should have been for gun control"  nightmare and violation.  Controversial articles don't contain novelty for this reason, for it doesn't represent any mainstream or significant minority viewpoint, it is just a sad coincidence that shouldn't be used as a political wedge

Comment: Looking at this sources and events, her notability before death was dubious at best, demonstrated by rather trivial back page coverage of that event.  As such, it isn't enough to free her from the bonds of .  Even now there are only two sources about the previous event, but what determines notability isn't the count of the sources, but rather the quality and whether it qualifies as |significant coverage  The murder does, and most murders would (and why we have  so that all are not included) but the permit event does not qualify. That there is a degree of novelty in a gun advocate dying at the hands of her gun toting husband doesn't convince, and in fact would raise NPOV issues, so it can't be considered a rationale to keep any part of the article.  As such, the topic is ineligible for inclusion and should be deleted

Comment: Ms. Hain got widespread news coverage from reliable sources that are not connected to her during her lifetime from bringing her gun to the soccer game and the sheriff's decision to revoke her concealed-carry permit. Because she was well known before her slaying,  doesn't apply. Her slaying also got widespread coverage from reliable sources that are not connected to her. And finally, the lawsuit that her estate was pursuing posthumously was reported in the news -- from reliable sources not connected to her. This clearly passes  and she is notable for more than one event -- her initial dispute with the sheriff, her slaying and her posthumous lawsuit
