Notability and article title. edit
I'm fairly certain this doesn't meet the notability guidelines per WP:GNG, as this is probably a WP:BIO1E. @Ksimmons8888: You removed the WP:PROD and added one contemporary source of coverage for this, which honestly doesn't really speak much to notability, given WP:NOTNEWS. Do you have any other indication of notability? If not, I think we should go to AfD at this point. If notability is established, I'm guessing that we're going to want to move it to Death of Carolyn Wasilewski, as her murder is likely the only thing notable about her (by this I mean no offense, but not many people are notable, and even fewer of those are notable at age 14). 0x0077BE [talk/contrib] 17:22, 28 October 2014 (UTC)
- Interesting. On the deletion discussion page, the very reason for deletion is a reason I would use to keep the page. The user wrote, "The event was broadly covered at the time (up until about a year after the event) and then there was a single follow-up article 46 years later..." Her death is notable because some evidence indicates she was a victim of retaliation for testimony she had given in a sexual assault case. By keeping her article on Wikipedia, we can improve our chances of learning about her testimony and the possibility that her death was in retaliation for her testimony. Sexual assault and associated retaliation for testimony are two problems victims have traditionally faced without much support the traditional power structure, so I would not have expected to see much news coverage in the years following her death. Her story is one of the few documented examples of how victims have traditionally been treated. Furthermore, she can be considered notable for her bravery in testifying in a "carnal knowledge (rape)" case at age 14. User99L (talk) 07:12, 3 January 2015 (UTC)

"carnal knowledge" edit
Just what, exactly, is a "carnal knowledge case"??? I assume it means statutory rape? 47.138.88.113 (talk) 06:53, 19 September 2022 (UTC)
