Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Helen Goddard
It is certainly true that there has been a lot of media attention to this event, but it seems to me that this is a "burst" as defined in .  The event itself is (regrettably) not unusual or "significant", Ms. Goddard appears to have no sources of notability other than in connection with this crime, and she doesn't appear to meet any of the criteria set out in Wikipedia:Notability (criminal acts)#Perpetrators.  In considering the balance between  and the |general notability guideline, I was guided by this quotation: "The significance of an event or individual should be indicated by how persistent the coverage is in reliable secondary sources."  There are certainly multiple reliable secondary sources but I find myself unable to believe that this coverage is going to be "persistent".  If it does persist, I don't think there's any bar to considering this subject in a second AfD; say, three or six months down the road
