Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Brock Turner
I'm reserving judgment on whether or not Brock Turner was independently notable, so I can raise a major concern about the merge proposals. (Note to newcomers, Wikipedia policies are often restrictive on this point, but that doesn't prevent relevant content about, say, Adam Lanza, from appearing on Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting.) Both  and  guidelines question whether not-otherwise-notable individuals should be topic of an independent Wikipedia article, but the guidance they offer is about incorporating ''the available encyclopedic material''. In general, this means merging to or creating '''a page about the specific crime'''. Thus we have Steubenville High School rape case and Sexual assault of Savannah Dietrich. Merging to campus sexual assault would require a massive and unnecessary deletion of encyclopedic content. So, those who favor a merge should back a renaming of the article to something like Sexual assualt by Brock Turner or January 2015 Stanford rape (although the latter may like Wikipedia:PRECISION|precision
