I realise that this thing has citations but we're not a missing persons database and, really, there doesn't seem to be any substance to this article beyond routine reports. There is nothing to verify inclusion in Category:Crime in New Jersey. Does it really meet the spirit of WP:GNG ? Sitush ( talk) 15:20, 23 September 2017 (UTC)
- Delete basically falls under "Wikipedia is not news." Even if it is old news. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 15:26, 23 September 2017 (UTC)

- Delete - Unfortunately, Sitush I think you are going to have a major clean-up on your hands. The editor who created this page has also written a series of articles which, in my opinion, falls under WP:NOTNEWS. Missing persons cases are interesting subjects for the media to cover; some established a historical significance while others, like this one, are routine in nature. Nothing about this strikes me as WP:DIVERSE or of long-term importance to the encyclopedia. TheGracefulSlick ( talk) 22:15, 24 September 2017 (UTC)
- TheGracefulSlick I tend to agree but I am somewhat restricted by my poor access to US news sources etc, many of which are paywalled, and thus my ability to do WP:BEFORE. Any help would be appreciated. - Sitush ( talk) 23:27, 24 September 2017 (UTC)
- Delete There is nothing here that meets the notability standard and nothing else turns up in a Google search. Alansohn ( talk) 03:24, 25 September 2017 (UTC)
- Delete Does not seem to pass GNG and NCRIME - sourcing in article doesn't establish notability. Note that editor opinion on importance is not relevant - but coverage - which in this case does not seem to exist. Willing to change my vote if someone finds a large collection of 1980s newspaper sources - which I haven't been able to find in a BEFORE. Icewhiz ( talk) 07:20, 25 September 2017 (UTC)
