Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Luis Eduardo Ramirez Zavala
Has |received significant, long-term, national coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, and #1E does not apply because article's subject is dead.  A great multitude of |reliable sources from national media outlets ''over the course of an entire year'' (murder occurred in July 2008 and is still being discussed in the media today, June 2009).  The alleged jury nullification of an alleged hate crime has provoked significant, obviously notable controversy. See also Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Marcelo Lucero and Wikipedia:Deletion_review/Log/2009_June_6#Marcelo_Lucero, where we just covered a similar situation. To compare this article to a memorial or claim it was just a passing incident is absurd.  The media and the American public decided that Natalee Holloway was notable, thus she is; they have decided the same of Luis Ramirez, and so he is, if not even more so due to the legal and hate crime factors involved.  The vast number sources over such a lengthy span of time speak for themselves
