We are not a news site. These killings occurred in February this year. Three months is hardly enough time to see if something like this has had the kind of lasting impact that would make them truly notable and not just "newsworthy right this second". ♠PMC♠ (talk) 05:49, 7 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Not every murder is notable. Not seeing what makes this one an exemption. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 06:06, 7 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Three killings committed, in a short space of time, apparently by the same person, in a fairly small city which does not have a high rate of violent crime. The media coverage hasn't been very extensive due to the victims having been men & the suspect being arrested soon after the killings. Jim Michael (talk) 10:26, 7 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

media coverage hasn't been very extensive is a strong argument for deleting the article, not keeping it. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 05:45, 8 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Rest in peace to the victims, but delete as non-notable. I fail to see how the victims being men has anything to do with the coverage, and even if it did matter that doesn't change the low level of coverage. – John M Wolfson (talk | contribs) 02:06, 8 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The media coverage was much lower due to the victims having being men because the media & society usually doesn't care much about men, unless they're famous. Had the victims been women, the media coverage would have been much greater. You must have noticed that murders, missing person cases etc. typically receive far more media coverage if the subjects are female; far less if they're male. If this case is regarded as non-notable because the media coverage wasn't extensive enough, and the reason for that was that the victims were male, that's saying that the killings lack notability due to the victims having been men.

Delete per WP:NOTNEWS. There is nothing in the article to show that this has any lasting significance. Hzh (talk) 12:21, 8 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
