Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Suicide of Tyler Clementi (2nd nomination)
It's a pity that there has had to be so much bad feeling erupting here in the wake of the news coverage of the sentencing of Mr. Ravi. The user who first requested deletion, at the article talkpage, has unfortunately made arguments that largely fall under . If I look for the policy-based issues, they are these. The original nominator believes that there is very little reliable sourcing for the suicide page, separate from sourcing for the trial page. This is completely untrue, as an examination of the sources on the suicide page will show. The editor believes that Wikipedia should avoid articles about suicides generally, as suicides are usually not notable and motives are difficult to source. That claim reflects a lack of understanding of how there is ample sourcing to establish notability for this particular page, indeed a surfeit. As for how we cover issues of motivation, without falling into , there are legitimate issues of POV and of representation of source material, but these are issues to be dealt with through the normal editing processes, not through deletion. Indeed, there is an active content RfC in progress about that. As for the point raised above about merging the suicide and trial pages, although I have expressed, at the pages, some concerns about POV-forking, I believe that ultimately it is a good thing to have two separate pages, exactly for the reason of not conflating Ravi's conviction with the causes of the suicide
