As this article says, there are 258 missing children in British Columbia. There was some coverage of Pedersen on the milestone anniversaries of her disappearance, but there is no evidence her disappearance was notable. As she was only ten at the time, no clear indication of notability prior. Star Mississippi 15:05, 15 May 2022 (UTC)

- Delete per nom. While missing children cases are always disturbing and sad, the media coverage of the subject's disappearance appears typical for missing-person's cases. Most of the coverage was, in fact, local. Also, the article reads like a press release issued by the police. Wikipedia is not a bulletin board for missing-person's cases. Plus, notability has not been shown and it, therefore, does not pass WP:BASIC and fails WP:GNG. - AuthorAuthor ( talk) 18:38, 15 May 2022 (UTC)
