Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/R. v Evans and McDonald
to Ched Evans. (note: at the time of writing the case has just concluded, subject to any appeals. Evans has been found guilty, McDonald has been found not guilty.) The notability of this case is solely due to the identity of the defendants. The guideline at  suggest that when the perpetrator of a crime already has an article "''it may be appropriate to create a wp:SPINOUT|sub-article, but only if this is necessitated by considerations of |article size.''" We have no such size issues here, a section in Ched Evans summarising the main points of the case would be appropriate. While McDonald was also a defendant, he has been cleared, and good BLP practice involves not retaining an article that drags his name through the mud
