Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Camrose cat killing
Google news search shows a total of 30 articles related to this sick, sad, incident of cruelty, with many of them being rehashes of the same wire service coverage. That is not much compared to other "water cooler stories" which have been deleted on the ground that Wikipedia is not a crime log.  This atrocity got a splash of coverage in the Canadian press, but did not lead to any new societal effects or laws, and was dealt with by the same means used aginst earlier young psychos who tortured animals. Things can be newsworthy without being encyclopedic, as expressed in the essay  and the newer policy #NEWS
