Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Disappearance and murder of Jessie Davis
I agree that it is helpful to have all information on this case collected into a single, well-referenced article, rather than scattered across several, but I still think that it would be more appropriate to host information on this case on Wikinews. I just think that the standard of notability needs to be something more lasting than only widespread media coverage, because many topics which make the news at local, national, or international levels don't get articles. Looking at List of victims of the Columbine High School massacre, only two of the people killed have their own articles, both of whom have had books written about them. The Reena Virk and JonBenet Ramsay murders have each been the subject of a book and are still being discussed 10 years later. However, #CBALL|Wikipedia is not a crystal ball, so I don't think that we can make any determinations about the notability of a case that's currently less than a month old. I think we should wait and see how this case develops, and, if after a couple of months, it does not/no longer meets the basic requirements of notability, we can renominate it for AfD
