Deletion of Mathew L. Golsteyn

Comment: all the coverage is based around the murder, of which he has not been convicted, so this is a  matter. No sign that he was well-known before this

Comment: Clearly the event is notable, and the news coverage meets , which is not something that even delete !voters seem to dispute. Per Geo Swan and K.e.coffman, a very strong case could be made that this does not meet the non-inclusion criteria at NCRIME and BLP1E given the current high profile and public nature of the incident and the multiple events (e.g. Fox News interview, charges, Trump tweet, etc.) that stemmed from the original one. However, since we do not have an article about the event, I think it's preferable to convert this to an event page, and let the creation of a seperate page on the individual be decided on the talk page

Comment: meets  and not a  situation. This is not a low-profile individual by this point. The investigation into Golsteyn has been covered in 2015, 2016 and 2018; meeting . See for example: 2015: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/checkpoint/wp/2015/05/19/inside-the-stunning-fall-and-war-crimes-investigation-of-an-army-green-beret-war-hero/?utm_term=.a60dba0e9ad6 Inside the stunning fall and war-crimes investigation of an Army Green Beret war hero, ''Washington Post'' (added); 2016: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/checkpoint/wp/2016/12/08/army-reopens-investigation-of-special-forces-soldier-accused-of-killing-unarmed-detainee/?utm_term=.e8c00bc2581b Army reopens probe into suspected bombmaker’s death after Special Forces soldier’s Fox News interview, ''Washington Post''; 2018: https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/former-special-forces-soldier-once-lauded-as-a-hero-faces-murder-charge/2018/12/13/bb4a11ee-ff10-11e8-ad40-cdfd0e0dd65a_story.html?utm_term=.1bd5cee543ac Former Special Forces soldier, once lauded as a hero, faces murder charge, ''Washington Post''. The nature of the alleged crime is highly unusual; it's rare that US personnel are charged with war crimes, hence the international interest in the subject matter. There's no other article about this crime and the investigation is tied to one person -- the subject of this article. So it's reasonable to have a stand-alone page

Comment: This a clearly a notable event, and WP:BIO1E and WP:BLP1E encourage us to cover the event rather than the non-notable person. I think we often fall into a rut of assuming we must either write or delete a biography in these cases. The problem currently is that this effectively is  case, and we normally are cautious about covering prior to criminal liability being established. I am not persuaded that the interview on Fox made the subject a public figure given the subject's low public profile in the years between the incident and the current rash of coverage. If he is not a public figure, BLPCRIME suggests we should not be covering the allegations. Let's wait and see if there's a trial, and whether Trump intervenes. If either occurs, the additional coverage will clarify whether there's true notability here for a biography. And in the event of a conviction, we certainly could write about the trial
