Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Godwin Grech
with Utegate - a silly article title but the correct place for this material. Grech has no notability outside the "Utegate" saga. He is a major player in that single event, though not the only one as it also heavily involves the Prime Minister, Treasurer and Opposition Leader. The relevant |notability guideline states that "''when an individual is significant for their role in a single event it may be unclear whether an article should be written about the indvidual, the event or both ... The general rule in many cases is to cover the event, not the person. However, as both the event and the individual's role grow larger, separate articles become justified.''" This seems excellent advice - for the moment the key feature is the Utegate scandal itself and that seems a fine place for Wikipedia's article on this issue to be located. At present we know very little about Grech's role - we don't know if he wrote the email, we don't know if he sent it to a journalist, all we ''do'' know is he claims he got one from Rudd's office, the one found in Treasury was forged and he was questioned by police, and then his house got egged. Fascinating theatre but not notable in the absence of further material. If over time Grech assumes a notability outside of Utegate, or if his role in Utegate becomes so central as to eclipse Turnbull and Rudd's, then a separate article may be warranted. At present however, he has an undefined role in a single event accompanied by breathless media speculation over the course of a few days. To date a classic case of  and best merged into the parent article on the scandal
