Local crime with no lasting impact or coverage. Being featured on America's Most Wanted does not confer notability. And Wikipedia is not a newspaper or newswire service. KidAd • SPEAK 02:07, 27 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: I believe that sources show significant coverage and the article passes WP:GNG. Just because it is local does not mean there was no lasting coverage, it appears to have made headlines for a while, including up to the sentencing. ––FormalDude talk 07:16, 27 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Fails WP:EVENTCRIT and WP:NOTNEWS, especially since all coverage is strictly local. Mlb96 (talk) 04:08, 28 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Within 9 minutes the above user copy-pasted either "keep as above" or "delete per nom" on 10 AFDs, clearly disruptive editing in my opinion. I think the comment should be disregarded. The user is welcome to return to make actual comments. Geschichte (talk) 08:09, 28 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Agree with Geschichte. ––FormalDude talk 08:14, 28 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. The producers of America's Most Wanted are not proper arbiters of notability. Clarityfiend (talk) 03:36, 3 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Evidence of significant coverage in reliable sources (e.g., Dallas Morning News, NBC News, AP) continuing for more than a decade after the initial event makes this event a sure pass for WP:LASTING. This is particularly the case given that the death sentence was appealed to the US Supreme Court. WP:AUD is a requirement for articles about Corporations/Organisations so I honestly don't know why people are raising the idea that the coverage is purely "local" above. NBC and AP are national coverage anyway - there is no sign that this news was published only on local affiliate websites (though NBC's DFW affiliate gave coverage to this last year, and Dallas-Fortworth is arguably at least a "region" given it having a population of more than 6 million people) . The point about America's Most Wanted above is simply misguided - this is not the basis of notability of this article. FOARP (talk) 10:48, 3 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
