Fails WP:BIO - unable to find significant coverage. Also WP:NOT#NEWS. —Snigbrook 14:43, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

  • Keep – there are plenty third party sources including [http://www.manchesteronline.co.uk/ewm/newsletter/ewm306.html], [http://www.manchesteronline.co.uk/ewm/newsletter/ewm307.html], [http://mylifeofcrime.wordpress.com/2008/06/28/aaron-nichols-juvenile-pedophile-will-justice-be-served/] and [http://mylifeofcrime.wordpress.com/2008/06/28/aaron-nichols-juvenile-pedophile-will-justice-be-served/]. --Pattont/c 15:14, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

:*The first two only contain one line or two that is relevant to this article, which is not enough, and the other two (both are the same url) are on a blog and appear to be about another person with a similar name. This article could be merged if there was an article about the crime he was convicted of (per WP:BLP1E) but there does not appear to be enough coverage in reliable sources. There is no inherent notability for criminals (e.g. Ian Huntley is redirected to Soham murders), so I don't think this meets the relevant guidelines. —Snigbrook 15:28, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

:Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

  • Comment What about the merge proposal? Can the content be merge and titled appropriately? ChildofMidnight (talk) 07:05, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

:*There is some support for it to be merged (see Talk:Soham murders#Aaron Nicholls) but I don't think it is worth merging, as it isn't particularly relevant to the article Soham murders, which is about the murders, not about Ian Huntley. —Snigbrook 13:31, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

::I think a one sentence merge and redirect (to the appropriate section) might be the way to go. The possible suicide attempt and tape are already mentioned in the Soham murders article so mentioning that Aaron Nicholls was allegedly involved and what he was convicted of doesn't seem like a big deal. As he is somewhat notable for his own horrific crimes and his involvement in this other incident, I think including him in some fashion seems appropriate, but the whole thing is pretty awful, and so distasteful I don't want to have much to do with it. Too upsetting. ChildofMidnight (talk) 18:34, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

  • Delete - Per WP:NOT#NEWS: "Unless news coverage of an individual goes beyond the context of a single event, our coverage of that individual should be limited to the article about that event" Scapler (talk) 21:34, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
