Deletion of Assassination of Jim Pouillon

Comment: the killing of someone by non-state actors for their political belief (at least in a western democracy) is notable. With regards to the nomination text, if the nominator doesn't think the event is sad, can the nominator remove the "sad, but" bit, leaving just "a failure of #NEWS and a potential BLP nightmare

Comment: Let's start with the point made by the last commenting editor:  the title is '''wrong'''.  Jim Pouillon wasn't "assassinated", he was "killed" (his death was random; that's not an assassination). So the article arguably should be called ''Killing of Jim Pouillin''.  Or simply ''Jim Pouillin'' (to give it the maximum chance of finding any evidence of notability).  And at that point, it becomes a lot clearer that this article is non-notable, in the same way that the death in Iraq of a particular, local soldier might be covered by (say) the ''Washington Post'', the ''Washington Times'', ''Alexandria Times'', the ''Alexandria Packet-Gazette'': someone died, we make a record of that, and we move on.  If Jim Pouillon had been killed in a car accident, and several commentators noted that, would anyone feel he merited an article?  In short:  this is a classic "known for a single event" case (), and he's not notable otherwise

Comment: Fails #NEWS.  This is not a notable event.  Even if this article is kept, the title would be wrong considering the shooter also killed another man the same day, a fact not even mentioned in the article.  Also comparing it to the George Tiller article does not work, George Tiller was created in June 2006 and by the time Assassination of George Tiller was created as an extension of the article it already had 29 inline citations, http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Assassination_of_George_Tiller&oldid=294077317. George Tiller had notability way before he was murdered
