Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Assassination of Jim Pouillon
Let's start with the point made by the last commenting editor:  the title is '''wrong'''.  Jim Pouillon wasn't "assassinated", he was "killed" (his death was random; that's not an assassination). So the article arguably should be called ''Killing of Jim Pouillin''.  Or simply ''Jim Pouillin'' (to give it the maximum chance of finding any evidence of notability).  And at that point, it becomes a lot clearer that this article is non-notable, in the same way that the death in Iraq of a particular, local soldier might be covered by (say) the ''Washington Post'', the ''Washington Times'', ''Alexandria Times'', the ''Alexandria Packet-Gazette'': someone died, we make a record of that, and we move on.  If Jim Pouillon had been killed in a car accident, and several commentators noted that, would anyone feel he merited an article?  In short:  this is a classic "known for a single event" case (), and he's not notable otherwise
