Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Disappearance and murder of Jessie Davis
There are numerous statements being made here that the topic is not notable, but no one can say ''why'' it doesn't meet |our guideline on the subject.  This is a high-profile murder case, and high profile criminal cases all have ''unique'' facts of the case, which this article outlines.  All of the arguments being made against it here are a matter of subjective distaste.  I think the case has been disproportionately covered in the media relative to its importance, but it's not appropriate to exclude it entirely.  We're being entirely appropriate by presenting a neutral description of the pertinent facts of the case.  What we have here is anti-recentism, where the notability of present events is being dismissed in ignorance of guidelines and policy, in favor of some idea that coverage of current events is automatically inappropriate news.  We're not news, and the article is not a news report, it's an encyclopedic summary of the facts of a case with wide media coverage
