Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Markeith Loyd
Per , Wikipedia does not keep articles about alleged criminals whose guilt has not yet been proven in a court of law — the appropriate time for a Wikipedia article about an alleged criminal is when they've been found ''guilty'' of the crime, not as soon as they've merely been charged. A Wikipedia article about an alleged criminal can actually become the ''cause'' of a mistrial if we don't treat it with a level of  hypervigilance ''greater'' than we can ever actually guarantee — and if he's found ''not'' guilty in the end, then what? And a modest amount of "in the moment" media coverage, not particularly exceptional as media coverage of murder goes, does not add up to a valid argument that the existence of media coverage (which never fails to exist for any murder, ever) somehow overrules PERP: there are numerous situations where the BLP imperatives ''collide'' with "notable because ", and BLP takes precedence over GNG when that happens — and alleged but not convicted criminals are one of those situations
