Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2009 Richmond High School gang rape
Gang rape of a teenager outside a school with none of the witnesses phoning the police or trying to intervene - indeed, some joining inhttp://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2009/10/31/MNR41ACRGU.DTL - isn't run-of-the-mill. There have been vigils held in the local community, showing an impact beyond the immediate trauma to the girl. Those simply citing  have to realise that it does not give carte blanche to delete all events reporting in the media; NOTNEWS is intended to avoid having articles on minor events, but this isn't minor and the reporting of this event is far from routine. It has been reported internationally, and the reporting has not diminished after a fortnight. Wikipedia:Notability (criminal acts) is a guideline that applies to this kind of event and the coverage meets the criteria laid out there. There is no doubt that a gang rape occurred, so deletion on BLP grounds seems bizarre. BLP sensitivities have gone too far when Wikipedia treads on eggshells over having articles on crimes while ''thousands'' of news reports exist.  is not whitewash
