Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Murder of Joseph Didier (2nd nomination)
as Smith Jones points out, this seems to be more about looking for loopholes in policy than the actual notability issue.  I will counter by referencing otability (criminal acts)#Notability of criminal acts.  This section directly addresses the crime versus victims or perps.  There is a specific suggestion here that (in the event of a recent crime) to go to Wikinews first, and wait for significant national coverage.  Since this is not a recent crime, there should already by significant national coverage ... which based on the article there does not appear to be.  Unfortunately, this is not yet official policy, though I am concerned that inclusion of an article like this opens the door for supporting an article on virtually any violent crime that is significantly covered in the local press of any municipality in the world, no matter how large or small
