Deletion of Philip Markoff

Comment: to a page dealing with the murder (whichever version of ''that'' ultimately gets settled upon).  There is nothing ''at all'' noteworthy about him beyond his involvement with those incidents and the investigation of them.  He isn't convicted of any crimes, so |all that can be said about him that is at all relevant is that he ''may or may not'' be a murderer.  And I know this will sound crass, but he's not even a serial killer.  He's not even the only or even the first to be called the "Craigslist Killer".  There's ''really nothing'' notable about him beyond |one event

Comment: In theory, he doesn't deserve a page of his own according to . In practice, if Seung-Hui Cho et al have pages, then the policy is already ruined and therefore useless

Comment: The murder case and Markoff's arrest has received national attention and a small amount of international attention. When it gets that much attention it is difficult to make an BLP1E argument. Moreover, if the basic idea  behind BLP is first to Do-No-Harm then we wouldn't be doing any harm given the already prominent coverage. Indeed, if anything, a neutral article on the subject would actually be beneficial given how much sensationalist junk there is. Arguments that the coverage is due to "media bandwagon-jumping" are not a reason to delete. The entire point of standards such as  and  is that we don't make decisions about what is notable but rather rely on what external sources have done. This prevent serious NPOV problems in regard to coverage.  It will probably make more sense to merge anyways given standard precedents about people who are notable for criminal activity.
