Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Houston McCoy
The blp1e assertions are, IMO, inappropriate, if Houston himself is covered in  which don't focus on the shooting incident.  I believe the references supplied so far make clear this is the case.  WRT the  essay -- this essay is routinely mis-cited in {{tl|afd}}, (1) as if it were a policy; and (2) ignoring its actual advice.  The Coatrack essay is clear in its advice that deletion should be a last resort when attempting to deal with a coatrack concern.  There is no record on Talk:Houston McCoy that the nominator, or anyone else, ever tried to raise this coatrack concern.  The coatrack essay makes some interesting points.  I like the names the author of the coatrack essay gave to different kinds of coatracks.  I like the "wongo-juice" name best.  What I generally find, when people claim authority under the coatrack policy, is that when they are asked to be specific about which of the different types of coatrack described in the essay they think an article contains an instance of, they are unwilling or unable to do so.  For me this very seriously erodes how much confidence I have in their arguments.  So, I ask our nominator to be specific -- which kind of coatrack do you see here?  And why didn't you voice your concern on the talk page, instead of nominating the article for deletion
