This article is essentially the rehashing of a local news story, failing pretty much any objective application of WP:NOTABILITY and WP:NOT#NEWS. Pairadox (talk) 21:37, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

• This local news story is a huge issue to the local community -- a community of thousands of parents and students. More people care about this article than some of the things that make it through. Once more information is available, it will be included. Until then, there is no reason to delete it. It allows us to convene information for many people at once, as it's happening, instead of once it is all done. -Jake —Preceding unsigned comment added by E5hansej (talk • contribs)
• Delete per nom. News story about a non-notable alleged criminal. Clarityfiend (talk) 22:51, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
• Delete per nom and consider speedy. Newyorkbrad (talk) 00:36, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Comment Already had speedy and prod tags removed. Also note that there has been repeated efforts to include this info in the Brookfield East High School article. Pairadox (talk) 00:44, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

• Extreme speedy delete. Egregious violation of WP:BLP and WP:BLP1E. I have blanked the page. Corvus cornix_talk 02:35, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
• Delete - no evidence of notablity due to lack of significant coverage by independent reliable secondary sources. Wikipedia is not a news service and generally notability cannot be not derived from one event. Guest9999 (talk) 02:40, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
• Delete classic WP:BLP1E violation. Noroton (talk) 05:22, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
• Delete as wikipedia is not a newspaper. -- Whpq (talk) 17:01, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
• Delete. And I would suggest that any passing admin does it quickly as a WP:SNOW case. Phil Bridger (talk) 20:39, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
• Comment. IP editor 70.94.17.179 posted the following to the article page - I think it belongs here. Phil Bridger (talk) 08:28, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

• ...this is the most rediculous thing ive ever seen. Who honestly has the heart and soul to post this unnecessary things. Wikipedia? Yes, talk about it, "convene" - however making an editorial about a teacher of brookfield wisconsin, who commited a crime via wikipedia is someone who is trying to not inform people but hurt the family of Michael. Please delete
