The
previous AfD in 2018 closed as delete. I'm not convinced that anything has changed and
WP:NOTNEWS still applies.

I understand that the article you were referring to was deleted because this one exists.

It was deleted due to
WP:NOTNEWS. I don't see a lasting impact so I think NOTNEWS still applies now.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Keep: I disagree. First off, the "previous AfD" quoted was of another article, and happened right after the incident; it closed largely on the strength of TOOSOON, which does not apply here. As far as a lasting impact goes, a simple search turned up dozens of news hits published in the last year
[1], well after the incident happened. If the lynching is still in the news -- and with news items over the last few months such as legislation citing it, the recent launch of a social media campaign prompted by it, editorials citing it, a protester cycling across the country -- it's tough to claim that its impact was ephemeral.

Keep: Based on the sources found by Ravenswing and Whiteguru, I think the article meets GNG and WP:EVENTCRIT. //
