Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Michael Sweet (police officer)
as per : massive, detailed news coverage over the course  3 1/2 decades. A 36-year-old murder of a Toronto police officer with horrific detail (held hostage, tormented and taunted by his killer as he bled to death) seemed to have enough probability of passing  to make me run a Proquest news archive search.  The search turned up far more coverage than I expected.  Not only was the event and trial covered in-depth, but 30 years later the mooted probation of the killer provoked an editorial in Winnipeg http://search.proquest.com/news/docview/603975185/fulltext/A08DE4B11BBE463APQ/41?accountid=10226, which is  a long way from Toronto.  The first page simplest google search https://www.google.com/#q=%22Michael+Sweet%22+++Toronto+  on "Michael Sweet" + Toronto turns up sources that carry this crim past , , such as this 2012 story http://news.nationalpost.com/news/canada/officer-who-killed-himself-after-tragic-rescue-attempt-denied-spot-on-police-memorial. And coverage https://www.google.com/#tbs=sbd:1&tbm=nws&q=%22Michael+Sweet%22+++Toronto+++police continues in a current (2016) debate on which officers to list on an official police memorial.  This is not a borderline case.  It is the kind of crime that we keep because of enduring coverage, including discussion of this well-known crime in policy debates re:parole and police memorials
