The Murder of Betty Hudson

Non-notable cold murder case. -- RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 16:03, 26 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I concur, particularly after checking out the forum that the article creator listed as a link at one point. This case is pretty apparently just another unsolved murder that for whatever reason has sparked a very minor amount of interest at a forum due to a recent anniversary. I will happily re-evaluate if efforts are made to establish notability. Erechtheus (talk) 16:06, 26 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete; without major sources, it's not notable. If it is considered that a serial killer did it, then said serial killer may get an article, under whatever tag the police and press have come up with to label her.--Prosfilaes (talk) 16:33, 26 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, no attribution of notability to independent sources, one of hundreds (thousands?) of unsolved murders every year in the U.S. --Dhartung | Talk 19:07, 26 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, While sad, Wikipedia is not the place for it. KleenupKrew (talk) 02:11, 27 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Wikipedia is not a memorial or a webhost. Plainly the creator wants to drum up publicity for the case, and I sympathize, but that's what Myspace is for. RGTraynor 13:46, 28 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy delete Should be speedily deleted (for the fourth time) - a sad case obviously, but not notable without RS. ukexpat (talk) 15:00, 28 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - and protect the article name and Betty Hudson in view of the creator's comments on the article talk page. – ukexpat (talk) 19:44, 28 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy delete - tragic, but (alas!) not notable. The page creator's stated motivations are in strenuous opposition to everything we're trying to do here, especially WP:BLP and WP:NPOV! --Orange Mike | Talk 18:04, 28 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
