Delete - sad, true, terrible, but not notable.

Comment: I have reversed my early closure per request by
User:SilkTork who I imagine will be showing up sometime soon to argue 'keep'.

Redirect to
Murder of Daniel Handley. Yes, Keep. This case has wide coverage, yet is not anywhere on our encyclopedia. It has dual notability for the crime itself, widely reported in in 1996 and well established by reliable sources, and for the overturning of the 50-year tariffs in 2002, also covered by reliable sources. As the article covers two distinct events, BLP1E does not apply, and as neither of the events is covered anywhere on Wikipedia, BLP1E does not apply. The ethos of BLP1E is "Cover the event, not the person." This article is about the event. We can talk about how best to deal with the material - if the article should be renamed, or the material merged somewhere, but delete the material? No - it clearly meets the
WP:N guideline, and the
WP:V policy. SilkTork *

The single crime is a BLP1E item, the court ruling as a precedent is glanced on in
Whole life tariff and should be improved on in that article (actually, parts of the crime content itself is in that article). As such, Redirect to
Whole life tariff.

I disagree that coverage of a crime is a BLP1E item - it is coverage of an individual in addition to or in place of coverage of a crime that BLP1E addresses. However, a redirect to the appropriate section in
Whole life tariff is a viable solution, as it renaming the article to make it more obviously about the crime, and the aftermath.
I've renamed the Daniel Handley article and merged in material from Timothy Morss and Brett Tyler. So I'm changing now to Redirect to
Murder of Daniel Handley. SilkTork *
