Convicted of murdering his parents in Texas. While there is news coverage in the Dallas-Fort Worth papers, I'm unable to find any news coverage outside of Texas and only a couple of mentions elsewhere in Texas. Just a "routine" murder. WP:NOTNEWS. Bgwhite (talk) 08:54, 24 July 2011 (UTC)

  • Keep - more than one involved in this crime. doesnt seem to fail wp:oneevent.. --BabbaQ (talk) 20:00, 24 July 2011 (UTC)

:*Question: There's always more than one person involved in a crime (suspect and victim). Doesn't mean we have to keep every murder that has more than one killer. What do you mean by "doesnt seem to fail wp:oneevent"? Also, while researching on what makes a murder notable or not, I've never found a murder/crime you didn't say keep on. (only looked at around 40 however). What do you think is the threshold for a murder not being notable? Bgwhite (talk) 06:17, 25 July 2011 (UTC)

  • Maybe it makes sense to put it as an example under "Historical Cases" under "Parricide" and cut out portions of it? Allycat1208 (talk) 23:12, 24 July 2011 (UTC)
  • Comment. One [http://books.google.com/books?id=6YMptaIzZx4C&printsec=frontcover#v=onepage&q&f=false "true crime" book was written about the murder], however, I'm not sure if that is enough to meet notability requirements. Location (talk) 15:17, 25 July 2011 (UTC)

  • Delete per WP:PERPETRATOR. As for the book, is this book reliable and notable itself? Beagel (talk) 19:05, 6 August 2011 (UTC)
