Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Murder of Joe Geeling
Please take a fresh look at  under "edit Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information" where it now says "News reports. Wikipedia properly considers the long-term historical notability of persons and events, keeping in mind the harm our work might cause. The fact that someone or something has been in the news for a brief period of time does not automatically justify an encyclopedia article..." This was added to  on May 28 by Jimbo Wales. Also see Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons where it now says "Articles about living people notable only for one event: Wikipedia is not a newspaper. The bare fact that someone has been in the news does not in itself imply that they should be memorialized forever with an encyclopedia entry
