[edit] Calin chi wong

Violatin of WP:BLP1E, Wikipedia is not Wikinews. We don't have an article on everybody ever arrested. Corvus cornixtalk 23:31, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

  • Keep. As author of the article, I vote as such because the subject has been featured on both national and international news media, including the Miami Herald (who broke the story), New York Times, Reuters, Times of London, and ABC News. This article is also helpful in illustrating topics of debate in contemporary society, such as gun ownership, race, and class. JeanLatore (talk) 23:46, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
I'm sorry, I don't see any discussion of gun ownership, race and class in this article. Corvus cornixtalk 23:56, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete, lack of long-term notability. —C.Fred (talk) 00:11, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete: Notability, beyond a kind of ephemeral newsworthy subject, has not been demonstrated. Additionally, the keep reasons offered by the author do not seem to be all present in the article as it is written now (as stated by Corvus Corvix).  DDStretch  (talk) 00:41, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. Luksuh 00:42, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete. When a madman gets arrested before he can do any harm, he is usually soon forgotten. Let's wait before recreating this article. --Blanchardb-Me•MyEars•MyMouth-timed 01:49, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete Does not appear to satisfy WP:BIO. Edison (talk) 02:50, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment I'm glad the police caught him before he became "notable". Instead of an outright delete, perhaps a redirect and a merge to the article about the police in Homestead, Florida as an alternative for now. Mandsford (talk) 15:07, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete non notable. Chris! ct 17:56, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment. One of the references in the article is from Canada, so this story is of more than local interest. --Eastmain (talk) 16:36, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Florida-related deletion discussions. —Eastmain (talk) 16:37, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete notability for one (alleged) bad act need not establish notability. News coverage is but a flash in the pan. Dlohcierekim 04:44, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
