WP:RUNOFTHEMILL Tragic death, but has not gotten long-term, significant coverage, being shown on America's Most Wanted does not make it notable either

Discussion

Any additional comments:

The proposed guideline I am following is Wikipedia:Notability (criminal acts). There is a subsection on article title that says:

“

In cases where the victim or the perpetrator of a crime does not meet the criteria for an individual article, but there exists sourced coverage of the crime itself sufficient to meet notability standards, the material should generally be presented in an article documenting the crime event and not the people involved. For example, a high profile crime would have an article entitled "Murder of Joe Bloggs", "Disappearance of Jane Doe", etc.

”

LGBT category?

I know there's no evidence that his murder was a hate crime, but it has had an impact on the LGBT community, including the Rashawn Brazell Memorial Fund that is still very active. So should this get some LGBT category?--87.162.1.180 (talk) 10:51, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
