Angelina Rodriguez Angelina Rodriguez double-murder – According to WP:1E articles should be based on the event, not the person. Relisted. Jenks24 ( talk) 06:28, 6 July 2015 (UTC) 217IP ( talk) 04:20, 22 June 2015 (UTC) reply

  • Oppose. The article is currently about her, not the event. If the article is rewritten to be about the event, then the title could be changed. Frankly, I think 1E is overzealous, and articles like this one make sense the way it is. -- В²C 17:13, 22 June 2015 (UTC) reply
Why is this person notable enough to have her own article but Casey Anthony, who is tremendously more famous and notable, is not? 217IP ( talk) 01:28, 23 June 2015 (UTC) reply
IMHO there should be an article about Casey Anthony too. -- В²C 22:15, 25 June 2015 (UTC) reply
You can view the Casey Anthony talk page where the decision was made for her to not have her own article. The same reasons apply here: Ms. Rodriguez is not notable at all outside this single event, and the event is not notable enough to justify a biography (otherwise we'd have tens of thousands of new biographies every year just for murderers). This article is a great example of why WP:1E exists and this seems to be the way it is enforced everywhere else. You can also view WP:CRIME, which says there should only be a BLP article if it is a well-documented historic event which this is very obviously not. 217IP ( talk) 02:39, 26 June 2015 (UTC) reply
I disagree with 1E too. What difference does it make if the notability is from one event? What about Rosa Parks? -- В²C 16:35, 26 June 2015 (UTC) reply
Rosa Parks was a significant figure in a well-documented historic event, Ms. Rodriguez was not. The issue is not that Ms. Rodriguez is only notable for a single event, the issue is that the single event she is known for is not notable. 217IP ( talk) 16:45, 26 June 2015 (UTC) reply
If the event is not notable then why have an article at all? -- В²C 18:36, 26 June 2015 (UTC) reply
There shouldn't be, this article is currently being discussed in AFD. I realized after I made the move request that it should really just be deleted. 217IP ( talk) 18:41, 26 June 2015 (UTC) reply

Notability

According to WP:1E, articles like this should be about the event itself (the murder) rather than a biography of the murderer. An example would be Death_of_Caylee_Anthony and how it is based on the event, not Casey Anthony herself (who doesn't seem to even have an article despite being much more notable than Ms. Rodriguez). 217IP ( talk) 04:13, 22 June 2015 (UTC) reply
