Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Boitumelo McCallum
I notice that the argument is that this is "not notable".  The #Basic_criteria|basic notability criteria for biographical articles says that the criteria are the article has a statement or evidence of why the person is notable, and "the person must have been the subject of published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent, and independent of the subject."  Nowhere does it say the person must be somebody particularly important, just that they must be the subject of a lot of reliable published works (e.g. articles), and the article should explain why, and it passes on both counts.  One might venture that there must be ''some'' reason for all the coverate.  On the other hand I do agree that people are murdered every day.  Her death is hardly unique, but Wikipedia is |not paper so if somebody wants to work on it (which people have been) then I say why not keep it
