Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Marcelo Lucero
First, one sentence articles are not a reason for deletion.  I '''do not believe''' we have mandated that a piece be so many words long before inclusion.  In fact, a vast majority of articles in hard copy encyclopedias are no more than a sentence or two.  Two, I am not sure if the nominator is saying that the event/individual is wp:notability|non-notable or that he/she feels the article in Wikipedia  itself is wp:notability|non-notable.  If the case is that the individual is wp:notability|non-notable, I have to disagree.  A quick Google News search, as shown here http://news.google.com/archivesearch?q=%22Marcelo+Lucero%22&scoring=a&sa=N&start=10 gives more than enough reliable – creditable – verifiable – 3rd party sources to warrant inclusion here in Wikipedia.  If it is the position of the nominator that they feel that the actual article itself is unimpressive, sorry again, but that is not a valid reason for deletion.  A better reason to nominate would have been |One Event.  However, I would make the argument that though this individual is only |notable for the way they died, the manner of their death has sparked controversy such areas as Hate Crime and Immigration.  In this light the individual is |notable.Thanks
