Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kelsey Smith
I fervently hope she is found ok, but Wikipedia is not a newspaper or True Crime Gazette. Per : "The fact that someone or something has been in the news for a brief period of time does not automatically justify an encyclopedia article". A recent abduction story is better suited to Wikinews than to an encyclopedia. Fox News, CNN and newspaper editors use lurid stories about Missing white woman syndrome|missing white girls while ignoring other disappearances to boost readership/viewership, while encyclopedias try to assemble NPOV stories about facts of enduring historical importance
