(Nominated article as a previous {{prod}} had been posted and later removed.) While I have the greatest sympathy for the victim and her family, the article on Ms. Proctor is simply not encyclopedic. She has no encyclopedic notability beyond being a victim of a horrendous crime; however, Wikipedia is not news and not a memorial. In short, she is only notable for a single event. Wikipedia is not a repository for articles for every victim of crime, even one as significant as murder, absent other factors. Given the facts of this case, there is really little potential for expansion of this article. Agent 86 (talk) 11:14, 20 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I am also nominating the following page, relating to the purpetrator of the crime, as it does not meet the requirements of WP:PERP. This was the only murder committed by the purpetrator. While tragic and sad, there is nothing unusual about this case that sets it apart from any other similar crime.:

Weak Keep - I will give this article a try, for users to expand it. Then if not up to standards it can be up for AfD again. but feel the article potential.--BabbaQ (talk) 17:25, 26 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I feel to see how any amount of rewriting will change the fact that this person has no notability beyond a single event.Agent 86 (talk) 00:38, 27 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Delete - WP:NOT - this is exactly why Wikinews exists separate from Wikipedia. As with the decision we made with the 9/11 victims, notability needs to extend beyond the mere circumstances of a person's death. Either the person has to have been individually notable before the death, or some sort of notable aftermath of this specific death needs to meet notability requirements. - Davodd (talk) 06:54, 27 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I don't see where she had any encyclopedic significance apart from being the victim of a crime. Everything public there is to know about her belongs in an article about the crime rather than ber biography. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 15:16, 27 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
