This is a fairly mundane murder case which got little publicity outside New Zealand MaxBrowne2 (talk) 04:56, 30 November 2019 (UTC)

• I respect any decision that the other Wikipedians come up with it. This case came on the heels of the Murder of Grace Millane so I thought I would write about it because of my connection to Dunedin. I agree that it hasn't received a great deal of publicity and commentary outside of NZ apart from some tabloid British and Malaysian newspapers. Will take it as a learning curve.

• Thanks everyone, I am heartened by your support. Andykatib 20:14, November 30, 2019 (UTC)
• Keep. Yes, this topic is arguably of little interest outside New Zealand, but the same could be said about many other NZ-specific articles. To its credit, it is very extensively referenced, and seems to be of high quality. Ross Finlayson (talk) 07:34, 30 November 2019 (UTC)
• keep, agree with comments above, but has a large number of sources and ticks the boxes for notability.Hughesdarren (talk) 08:46, 30 November 2019 (UTC)
• keep - per WP:GNG. Sourced and within the notability criterias.BabbaQ (talk) 08:58, 30 November 2019 (UTC)
• Keep per above. Hyperbolick (talk) 15:51, 30 November 2019 (UTC)
• Keep The event clears the notability threshold by quite some margin. Schwede66 16:33, 30 November 2019 (UTC)
• Comment In the USA a murder such as this would be unlikely to get any publicity beyond the city where it occurred. There are thousands of murders in the US which don't have wikipedia articles. Does a murder in NZ qualify for wikipedia just because we have a smaller population and less stuff happens here? MaxBrowne2 (talk) 01:55, 1 December 2019 (UTC)

:*There are [https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/new-zealand/2018/09/new-zealand-at-lowest-murder-rate-in-40-years-police.html between 50 and 70 homicides in NZ per annum]. :Category:2010s murders in New Zealand contains four articles, reflecting that only a small proportion of murders meet notability requirements. Does that answer your question? Schwede66 17:33, 2 December 2019 (UTC)

• Keep. Obviously important in NZ.--Ipigott (talk) 07:21, 1 December 2019 (UTC)
