ONEEVENT is not "irrelevant if the event is notable", nor is it incompatible with "most of the crime articles" — if an event is notable, then we keep an article about the ''event'', not a standalone  of every individual person involved in it. That fact is precisely ''why'' most of the crime articles are titled "Murder of Victim" rather than "Name of Murderer". The number of sources ''actually'' being cited here is ''far'' from "extensive" — four sources isn't that extensive to begin with, even ''before'' you notice that two of the four are deadlinks whose content is |unverifiable. You could cite two, three or four news articles about every single murder that ever happened at all, but that doesn't make a biography of every single murderer in the history of human death appropriate for inclusion in Wikipedia — for our purposes, a murder is notable if it had significant long-term ''aftereffects'', such as a new law being named after the victim to address loopholes where existing law was significantly inadequate to the situation (frex, Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act — note that even our articles about the Shepard and Byrd murders are titled for the ''victims'', not the ''killers''), and is not automatically eligible for inclusion just because the  amount of coverage that a murder would be ''expected'' to generate verifies the fact that it happened. But nothing here demonstrates that ''this'' murder meets our actual notability standard for murders in any identifiable way. And I'd also note that the nominator ''lives'' in Nunavut, and therefore ''his'' reading of whether a murder that happened in Nunavut is permanently notable or not carries a ''lot'' of weight in a discussion like this. If BabbaQ really feels that this is notable enough, he's certainly welcome to ''try'' for a Murder of Douglas Scott article instead — but it would have to cite significantly more sources and contain significantly more substance than this does
