Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Christopher Foster (arsonist)
per policy  #NEWS and essay NEWS, where the argument is made "News organizations have different criteria for their content than the criteria used by encyclopedias. A violent crime, sensationalized event or accidental death may be notable enough to reporters and news editors to justify coverage in the news, but not be of encyclopedic importance." No evidence of any lasting or widespread impact beyond the unfortunate victims. This is supposed to be an encyclopedia, not a crime catalog of every murder and arson in the history of the world
