Deletion of Armanious family massacre

Comment: It is true that the article has been improved dramatically (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Murder_of_the_Armanious_family&oldid=685367849 permalink), from when I nominated it (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Armanious_family_massacre&oldid=684499517 permalink, https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Murder_of_the_Armanious_family&type=revision&diff=685367980&oldid=684499517 diff with original), right down to the title (the original was a trashy sensationalist one due to Daniel Pipes): in no small part by the efforts of {{u|Dan Murphy}}. I feel bad about still asking it to be deleted, but it still is a random crime. There was a brief flurry of rumours about hate crime with random speculation (who knew that "slitting throats" is similar to "Muslim-style beheading"? words fail me). Still, nobody has given any evidence of lasting impact. A flurry of uninformed speculation in proximity to the murder does not pass

Comment: This was a criminal murder/theft; committed by drug dealers.  However, the response and coverage http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/1482924/Critic-of-Islam-murdered-after-threats-from-website-also-used-by-British-cleric.html at the time were extraordinary.  Rumors http://www.weeklystandard.com/Content/Public/Articles/000/000/005/170iuvxe.asp that the killing was a hate crime committed by Muslims against Coptic Christians made it a national news story.  It is useful to have this article here, so that anyone hearing the echo of those old rumors can quickly discover that a garden-variety, low-life, thug was the murderer.  But the rationale for keeping is : this murder got extensive, intensive coverage at the time, and in the follow-op of the trial.  Rumors can make an criminal matter into a matter of national concern, and when they do, the proper thing for Wikipedia to do is to KEEP.  Article needs improvement, I added a bit of copy and a few good sources

Comment: Fails the various guidelines of , including  and . It is not uncommon for there to be news reports of a murder, then follow-up about the trial, conviction, sentencing, and appeals. This is routine coverage of a crime and it fails , one of the exceptions to WP:GNG. Initial thoughts that was a hate crime were dispelled over the course of the investigation, and it actually did not receive much coverage outside of the NY metro area (i.e. fails ). A search of GBooks is not persuasive. One author listed it (tantamount to trivial coverage) as a hate crime in his 2005 book prior to the facts coming outhttps://books.google.com/books?id=HjjV4DpDNh0C&pg=PA85&dq=Armanious++%22jersey+city%22+++2005&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0CBwQ6AEwAGoVChMIifXQj-K1yAIVA9hjCh3m1wXo#v=onepage&q=Armanious%20%20%22jersey%20city%22%20%20%202005&f=false and didn't even bother to update it for his 2015 version.https://books.google.com/books?id=vBt5CgAAQBAJ&pg=PA336&dq=Armanious++%22jersey+city%22+++2005&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0CCgQ6AEwAmoVChMIifXQj-K1yAIVA9hjCh3m1wXo#v=onepage&q=Armanious%20%20%22jersey%20city%22%20%20%202005&f=false If there was  coverage, I might reconsider.

Comment: Just to clarify my position here. I would not have nominated the article as it currently exists, since it is no longer a  article. Much of the objectionable content has been removed. But that does not mean that the article should exist. Nobody has even pretended to give any  based arguments that stand up to two minutes scrutiny. This was a storm in the teacup, was debunked, and everyone has since forgot about it. The editor who created it had nothing good in their intention, and has been since blocked for their various sins. Wikipedia space is practically infinite so I don't mind if it stays, but it is a singularly useless article, which nobody will read
