O. J. Simpson Las Vegas robbery case

Suggest deletion per WP:NOT#NEWS this is little more than tabloid rubbish and is not fit for an encyclopedia. The "article" is also problematic under WP:BLP as much of the facts surrounding this case are not fully known. This warrants little more than a footnote under the main Simpson article.

  • Keep, because of constant media coverage and easy availability of sources. This case seems to be quite major. Eventually a merger with O.J. Simpson, may be possible, but it's just too early to delete or merge at this point. Best, --Le Grand Roi des CitrouillesTally-ho! 21:50, 17 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep for now - the AFD is premature. A footnote, are you serious? OJ is mainly known these days because of that other incident. This one may likely contribute to his ongoing infamy. While Wikipedia is not a newpaper, this is a significant incident and I don't see us not having an article about it. Friday (talk) 21:54, 17 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • This is puerile tabloid material Friday, and everything printed right now is "allegedly" anyhow. Wikipedia is not a tabloid, let alone a newspaper. Once the facts of the matter have settled we can place that material in the O. J. Simpson article. We don't need this, though. Burntsauce 21:58, 17 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Problems that can be solved by editing should not be solved by deletion. Friday (talk) 22:02, 17 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • Except when they are WP:BLP problems that are potentially defaming someone, I completely agree with you. Burntsauce 22:07, 17 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
      • If there's really a blp issue here, the solution is to fix it immediately. This AFD shouldn't have anything to do with blp- that just doesn't make sense. Friday (talk) 23:28, 17 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete This is not Wikinews. If the incident becomes very prominent it may warrent inclusion in the Oj simpson article. If not simply delete. DBZROCKSIts over 9000!!! 21:59, 17 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Its nice to see you throw AFD around so easily and the onus is on everyone else to say keep it. Anyways, as I said if nothing comes of this case by Wednesday September 19th, I will delete it.--Anais1983 21:59, 17 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Huh? Where did this deadline come from? I could see an eventual merge if this doesn't turn out to be of lasting significance, but why would we pick such a soon date for this? Friday (talk) 22:01, 17 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Frday, I said Wednesday because he will see the judge Wednesday. Charges will either stick and a trial will be set or this may die down Wednesday --Anais1983 22:06, 17 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Whats the big deal? People made a quick article for Michael Vick right? This story will not go away and we should keep it —Preceding unsigned comment added by 154.20.78.130 (talk) 22:03, 17 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Transwiki to Wikinews - it's not significant enough to be a Wikipedia entry. - A Link to the Past (talk) 22:34, 17 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Currently a notable chapter in his ongoing legal troubles with verifiable facts. Makes sense to keep as a separate article for clarity. If it all blows over if can be cut down or merged later. —dgiestc 22:39, 17 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge, transwiki & redirect, chapter in his life sure, but it doesn't need a separate article. KTC 23:03, 17 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Transwiki/delete WP:NOT investigative journalism, thats what Wikinews is for. Minor mention in the OJ Simpson biography is sufficient, a link to wikinews can be placed there. That is sufficient per our policies.  ALKIVAR™ ☢ 23:25, 17 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as per Alkivar. Encyclopedias provide summaries of people's lives, not select incidents in the lives of contemporary celebrities. It should be part of a general article on OJ Simpson, but the fact that it is occurring now does not mean that it merits separate mention. -- Danny 23:34, 17 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge + Redirect + Wikinews A lot of the stars incidents doesn't deserve individual articles - and most of those doesn't have one since they aren't notable enough even though it a extensive news coverage (i.e Paris Hilton's drunk driving case or not even Phil Spector's murder trail case). A robbery is a robbery nomatter who did that. Like how mainly robberies are happening every day. No it should in Wikinews and merge to O.J. Simpson's article in a section about the incident.JForget 23:43, 17 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete : Wikipedia is not a newspaper (again). Should be part of the general article on OJ Simpson as stated above. Later on, a stand alone article could be created depending on the long term notability of this event. Tomj 23:56, 17 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
