Marcelo Lucero

The subject of this article was murdered sometime in late 2008. There was a lot of news coverage on the murder then. As of late (most recently 2009-05-28), there have only been anecdotal news stories about the murder (Newsday) and the reactions in the local communities. In all, this man was really never notable. If anything, the useful referenced content in this article could be used in some other article, but this article is an orphan, so I have no clue what that article could be. If no other article on the English Wikipedia even remotely references this one, why is this murder victim notable for inclusion on the English Wikipedia at all? Wikipedia is not a news site and this man is definitely notable only for his murder.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 09:07, 4 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I see this link but that is the only main space link to this article as pointed out by Bearian below.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 20:34, 6 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. This is WP:BLP1E no matter how many newspapers talked about it. Everything even resembling notability traces back to the one event. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Niteshift36 (talk • contribs) 17:26, 4 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Per the policy WP:NOTNEWS which says "News reports. Wikipedia considers the historical notability of persons and events," and its predecessor essay Wikipedia:News articles, which says "Articles about items in the news are only considered encyclopedic if they are verifiably of significant lasting and historical interest and impact." This tragic death does not appear to have caused changes in laws or other societal changes sufficient to justify an encyclopedia article. Edison (talk) 22:03, 4 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Steve Levy has hurt himself politically by referring to tthis person's mruder as a "one day" story. His death has had ongoing impact, as least much as Jerry Nadler's weight did in 1998. Bearian (talk) 18:43, 6 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- The article does not state that and there are no references to support that fact of yours.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 20:29, 6 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Also, the impact on a politician has nothing to do with the victim's notoriety. Politicians say stupid things every day. All it says is that the politician is not sensitive of the issue at-hand. And that's what this article is - it is just simply an example of these racial murders. Groink (talk) 03:33, 7 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete/recycle Per WP:BIO1E, this person contributed nothing notably during his life. If anything, the information in this article should be merged into an article that covers the issue of these racial slayings, instead of create a separate article for each and every murder case involving BIO1E's.
