[edit] Leslie Mahaffy
only one reference. Subject has no notable achievements. Close and merge to Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka, who are much more notable and whose articles can support the essential information about this non-notable deceased person. Proudlyhumble07 07:47, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
- Speedy Keep. Nowhere in WP:BIO is it said that notability is only due to achievements. Someone whose name is immediately recognizable over 15 years later by a large percentage of the population of a major country is likely to meet the "Wide name recognition" provision of WP:BIO. I'll assume good faith and not assume this is some kind of WP:POINT for the redirection of the VA Tech victims, but will their names be immediately recognizable in 15 years? Most of the San Ysidro McDonald's shooting victims aren't. --Charlene 08:02, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
- Keep A per Charlene's comments. Achievements aren't the sole notability factor. Jmlk17 08:17, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
