Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Maura Murray (2nd nomination)
Regarding NOTNEWS, as Rusty pointed out, NOTNEWS does apply to this sort of coverage. It is routine for local newspapers to cover missing persons in their area. Tabloid journalism is not limited to tabloid newspapers. Tabloids just print pretty much exclusively tabloid journalism. Specifically speaking on this article as it is now, BLP1E does indeed no longer apply because the article has been retitled to the event, which is what 1E dictates. Whether or not NOTNEWS continues to apply depends on how significant the non-local coverage is. Are the pieces original stories or are they merely reprints of the local? /CA comes in at this point. Missing person cases where criminal conduct is suspected are not inherently notable. In fact, it gives a strong argument against keeping some of the recent cases we've seen come up at AFD.''Intense media coverage can confer notability on a high-profile criminal act, provided such coverage meets Wikipedia's policies and guidelines on reliable sources. However, since Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information, it may be better in the first instance to create a Wikinews article about it until the event is mentioned by a significant number of third-party sources that have at least national or global scope.''So the question is, how "intense" has the media coverage been, and do we consider this a "high profile" case? I think of Lacy Peterson when I am considering what a high profile missing persons case is
