The article fails to have notability per WP:EVENT- this was merely a non significant double murder. Passionless -Talk 19:45, 18 March 2011 (UTC)

The nominator also wants the article on one of the victims to be merged to this article. As ofcourse the murder victim in this particular case isnt notable in himself but the event itself is. Which tells me this article should be kept.--BabbaQ (talk) 20:41, 18 March 2011 (UTC)
  • Keep, seems to pass WP:EVENT from sources in Google Books (although sources actually cited in article don't seem to be adequate). Legislation never passed, though, and I'll add a note at the article to this effect. Re-name. Roscelese (talkcontribs) 23:58, 18 March 2011 (UTC)
