Keep ~~almost fails WP:CRIME, though I notice a book has been written about it, which isn't typical for murder cases.~~ Multiple books and journal coverage; enough coverage to meet WP:CRIME. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 15:51, 19 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You are mistaken, it's not one book, but two, as is clearly stated in the article. --j⚛e decker ^talk 16:30, 19 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! --j⚛e decker ^talk 18:20, 19 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Coverage in news, in multiple books, in scholarly publications, over decades. Two books exist about the subject, at least one of which was independently written and itself has received enough coverage to almost qualify for WP:GNG. The coverage has had lasting effects, is persistent, and has been covered from many angles and framings. This is in no way a close call. Did you follow WP:BEFORE? --j⚛e decker ^talk 16:30, 19 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

(No objection to a rename to the event, however.) --j⚛e decker ^talk 16:47, 19 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per Joe Decker, no objection to a rename to “Murder of Rebecca Wight”.--В и к и T 21:01, 19 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and rename. Rivertorch (talk) 18:28, 20 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, problem nominations by nominator, plenty of coverage in secondary sources. — Cirt (talk) 20:35, 20 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
