Non-notable crime coverage of an ordinary gang-related shooting. Orange Mike | Talk 02:00, 6 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Notability not asserted. One might be able to write an article about gang activity Easton but I'm uncertain of that (it's all local coverage) and this article isn't it. None of the problems identified in the original nomination have been addressed in the intervening three years. Murders proceedings inevitably acquire much coverage in the local press but there's simply no broader significance here. The article is also, after five years, a mainspace orphan save the inevitable "See also" link from Easton, Pennsylvania and a link of dubious relevance from Index of articles related to African Americans.

• Weak keep - As I've stated before about this issue, I'm the primary author of this article, and I started it early on in my Wikipedia career, before I was very familiar with the policies. I think it could warrant its own article, arguably, but obviously the page as it stands now it's out of date and badly in need of improvement. This was a major case in this part of Pennsylvania, but I think rather than a separate article for it, Wikipedia would be better served by an article like Crime in Easton or Crime in the Lehigh Valley that briefly mentioned this homicide as part of a wider look at crime over the history of that city or region. — Hunter Kahn 19:17, 6 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
