Delete sad story of a young woman being killed, but unfortunately does not meet our notability guidelines, WP:BIO, WP:N, and WP:NOT#MEMORIAL Carlossuarez46 05:07, 2 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral with comment I have no opinion, at this time, as to whether this article should be deleted or not. This is a story of some importance (ABC covered it last week and Newsday has been running articles on every aspect of it from day one.) If it is kept, well, the title is misleading as practically the whole family was murdered, so a renaming would be in order.--Sethacus 05:28, 2 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. A tragic crime, but being a victim of a tragic crime is not notability. --Dhartung | Talk 07:38, 2 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral with comment I just read about this in a UK crime magazine so it has had international coverage, albeit in a niche market. Per Sethacus if it's kept it should be renamed. MorganaFiolett 08:19, 2 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - As is, it doesn't belong. If it were apart of another article on crime, or with a different title, like mentioned above, I might change my opinion. Iamchrisryan 14:05, 2 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete People are killed everyday across the world as a result of strangulation, blunt force trauma, arson etc. There is nothing in particular that makes this case any more notable than the other murders that are committed. It's a sad case to be sure of, but that doesn't mean it deserves a place in an encyclopedia. --Cyrus Andiron 18:06, 2 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Retain and Revise The Cheshire home invasion was the most important news event in CT in 2007 and received worldwide press attention. (486,000 hits on Yahoo for "Cheshire home invasion") http://search.yahoo.com/search;_ylt=A0WTTkgWxgRH.EkBdQvQtDMD;_ylu=X3oDMTA4ajhnZmc5BHNlYwN0YWJz?fr=sfp&ei=UTF-8&p=cheshire%20home%20invasion&fr2=tab-news. While the victims of this crime did not meet notability standards, the legislative reaction to this crime continues to be the top policy issue for Governor M. Jodi Rell and the rest of CT government. This was no ordinary murder, and if we are going to use the criteria "people are killed everyday" articles on Son of Sam and Charles Manson also should be deleted —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.14.84.60 (talk) 10:57, 4 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete At best, this is a "15 minutes of fame" event that few will recall in a few years' time.--Bedivere 19:07, 7 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
retain by that basis, then this article about a crime involving one of her majesty's subjects ought to be deleted as well [1] —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.14.84.60 (talk) 13:43, 8 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
