Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Salvatore Rivieri
I once thought of proposing this article for deletion for the same reason suggested by the nom. But as I looked it over, I realized that the officer has come to media attention for two similar but separate events: the one involving the teen and the one involving the artist. Also, the one involving the teen especially was ''nationally'' publicized (see |WP:Depth of coverage). Several months after it occurred, the YouTube video surfaced nationally, was presented on the front page of AOL News and other sites, and was used to make a case regarding the treatment of youth by officers (|a lasting effect). A civil was to follow. I had also at one time considered merging this back into Baltimore Police Department from which it was split, but I found reason enough for this officer to have his own article
