The result was delete. The proposed redirect target doesn't exist in mainspace, so that isn't an option right now. No prejudice against creating a redirect if/when the target exists. I won't remove incoming links, so if the target is available soon, a redirect could be created with minimal disruption. RL0919 ( talk) 00:29, 29 December 2019 (UTC)

Essentially WP:NOTNEWS. This article addresses one non-notable unsolved murder from 17 years ago. Are we to have articles on every unsolved murder? AussieLegend ( ✉) 15:07, 21 December 2019 (UTC)

- Delete. Not significantly different from other unsolved murders.
It was also aggressively linked; if deleted, it is important to remove the links in {{ see also}} templates.Sorry, that was wrong. There is only one link from article-space remaining. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 18:48, 21 December 2019 (UTC)

- Delete or perhaps redirect and merge to a new article such as List of unsolved murders in Australia, similar to List of unsolved murders in the United Kingdom. I could not find sufficent, sadly, to support notability of this subject in its own right. Aoziwe ( talk) 04:57, 22 December 2019 (UTC)
- Comment - Just a comment for posterity, I have lived in Raymond Terrace since 1992 and don't even remember this murder. I do remember a more recent one that was solved but other locals that I've asked can't remember this either so it doesn't even have local notability. -- AussieLegend ( ✉) 07:09, 22 December 2019 (UTC)
Delete. Appears to fall under WP:NOTNEWS. No prejudice to a redirect per Aoziwe if an appropriate target is found or created. -- Kinu t/ c 20:35, 22 December 2019 (UTC)
- Redirect for now, to List of unsolved murders in Australia (when moved to mainspace). There seems to have been some coverage from 2011-2013 of the arrests, charges, releases, etc - some local (the Newcastle Herald [1], the Maitland Mercury [2]), but also some from Sydney (the Daily Telegraph [3], the Sydney Morning Herald [4]) and possibly regional, possibly statewide (the ABC [5], NBN News [6]). But it does seem to be routine reporting of police actions and court cases, rather than in-depth coverage of the case and the victim. Perhaps in time more will be published about it, but for now, redirect to the list that Aoziwe is creating. RebeccaGreen ( talk) 13:17, 27 December 2019 (UTC)
- Delete (or Redirect): This topic doesn't seem to warrant its own article (on notability grounds). I would support Aoziwe's creation of the page and to redirect this title to it ( List of unsolved murders in Australia). Normal Op ( talk) 16:19, 28 December 2019 (UTC)
