Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Armanious family massacre
This was a criminal murder/theft; committed by drug dealers.  However, the response and coverage http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/1482924/Critic-of-Islam-murdered-after-threats-from-website-also-used-by-British-cleric.html at the time were extraordinary.  Rumors http://www.weeklystandard.com/Content/Public/Articles/000/000/005/170iuvxe.asp that the killing was a hate crime committed by Muslims against Coptic Christians made it a national news story.  It is useful to have this article here, so that anyone hearing the echo of those old rumors can quickly discover that a garden-variety, low-life, thug was the murderer.  But the rationale for keeping is : this murder got extensive, intensive coverage at the time, and in the follow-op of the trial.  Rumors can make an criminal matter into a matter of national concern, and when they do, the proper thing for Wikipedia to do is to KEEP.  Article needs improvement, I added a bit of copy and a few good sources
