Deletion was mentioned on talk page, but never proposed. Subject appears non-notable in and of himself, and is mentioned here only because he was killed at the same time as Dahmer. A Google search for "Jesse Anderson" "murder" gives 348 hits, almost all of them false positives or a discussion of the murder of Dahmer. He's not notable by himself and shouldn't be dignified with a Wikipedia article. I originally had this up for prod, but the template was removed by an anonymous IP user without explanation or improvement of the article itself. Bueller 007 (talk) 00:50, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

  • Keep The murder of his wife was was very notable in Milwaukee, and the resulting fallout pretty much marked the downfall of the Northridge area in Milwaukee as a viable shopping area. A better source might be a search for [http://www.google.com/search?client=opera&rls=en&q=%22jesse+anderson%22+%22Northridge%22&sourceid=opera&num=50&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8 "Jesse Anderson" "Northridge"], which is more about the murder and media attention than the Dahmer incident.

::Comment. I get 90 'real' Google hits on your link, almost all of them false positives. My own obscure personal name gets more. Bueller 007 (talk) 06:20, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

  • Delete. The only reason this isn't WP:ONEVENT is because he happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time in prison. If we remove the conicidence/bad luck anomoly, it goes back to WP:ONEVENT. He's not notable for the murder and not notable as a victim. Niteshift36 (talk) 04:04, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

  • Weak Keep Seems to have some notability for the Milwaukee and the chicago area. Æon Insanity Now! 05:07, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
  • Keep Both events were heavily covered by the Milwaukee press and are notable by wikipedia standards. Google searching may not be the best way to research these events because they pre-date internet news coverage - maybe try searching the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel archives instead?

  • Keep per pre-Google coverage by the Milwaukee media. Bearian (talk) 01:23, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
