Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Patrick Knight
WP:WAX|Other stuff exists is not a valid reason for keeping an article. Routine murder victims are also not newsworthy, and sevveral memorial articles or True Crime Reports about them are deleted every week despite being in news reports. A murderer got convicted and executed. This is not a landmark case, and no evidence shows effects on society or culture or the legal system, or which were noted by commentators, playrights, sociologists, beyond simple news coverage. Newsworthy but not encyclopedic.  Wikipedia is #NEWS|not a tabloid newspaper or a crime blog, and things that are newsworthy, or "water-cooler stories" like the condemned man asking for a good joke to tell as his last words, are of only transitory interest
