Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Murder of Tim Bosma
As I already noted, there were legitimate  reasons why the article ''had'' to be deleted in 2013 — however, now that Millard and Smich have actually been ''convicted'', PERP no longer applies and this now needs to be judged on its own merits rather than being speedied as a recreation of the 2013 version. That said, as things stand right now this fails on the merits: it's an inadequately sourced two-sentence stub, which fails to demonstrate any enduring notability besides "thing that happened". It ''might'' be ''possible'' to write a ''good'' article which was sourced and substanced well enough to demonstrate notability properly — but ''this'' article, in ''this'' form, ain't it. The test that distinguishes murders that qualify for Wikipedia articles from murders that don't qualify for Wikipedia articles is not the mere existence of coverage, as all murders always get media coverage but ''we'' are  — rather, it's whether you can demonstrate a substantive reason why people will ''still'' need to read an article about it |ten years from now. (Matthew Shepard, for example, is ''still'' talked about and analyzed almost ''twenty'' years after his death — while thousands of other murders that have happened over the years are ''not''.) But nothing here demonstrates that this passes that hurdle. And I'm also concerned about the creator's username so closely resembling the murder victim's name — implying a |vested interest of some kind. So this has to be deleted in this form, although without prejudice against a ''good'', ''substantive'' and ''properly sourced'' article about it being created in the future if somebody can do ''better'' than this
