Deletion of Shawn Hornbeck

Comment: it's obviously wikinews.  Of course, I fully recognize many articles exist about people who are notable only because their victimization made a temporary national splash.  Anybody remember who James Jordan (basketball)|James Jordan was?  That article's AfD ended with a keep, but it really isn't contributing much to this encyclopedia.  Unless Wikipedia wants to be an all-inclusive (see: ) information source, I suspect that we'll eventually want to exclude main stream media articles as evidence of notability.  If something is truly notable, then it will eventually become the ''subject'' of more scholarly work.  In another case, I've had a Speedy Delete tag removed from Chubby Cherub|an article by someone who thinks a video game listed as one of the "15 worst" in a web commentary is sufficient to demonstrate notability.  The trend here these days, appears to be toward admitting YouTube, MySpace, and personal blogs as evidence of notability.  In the case at hand, I'd rather wait for an academician to write an article or a book on the psychological effects of long-term kidnapping on its survivors (or some such) before Wikipedia sees an article on this subject.  Posting one now appears gratuitous at best and exploitation at worst
