I see no Wikipedia article suggesting that noindex should be used for controversial articles, Wikipedia:NOINDEX_of_noticeboards not withstanding.
Also, this page is the top google hit for a search on Lon Horiuchi even today, so the stated reason for the edit seems ineffective.

What exactly IS the cause for deletion for this article? you can't just slap on a "deletion" box without giving a reason. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.180.106.151 (talk)

If the Rothschilds don't like it it gets deleted from Wikipedia. If you want to learn any truth on Wiki you better search in Spanish, or any language other than English. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.162.4.7 (talk) 14:15, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
Why do people keep removing the fact that the shot Mr. Horiuchi made on Vicki Weaver was taken while she was unarmed and holding her infant child? This context is crucial to understanding why manslaughter charges were brought against him (as opposed to if she'd been holding a gun, for example). Let us not forget that she was behind a door and Horiuchi literally didn't know what he was shooting at. Aren't snipers supposed to know what they're shooting at? They certainly taught us that at summer camp when I was a kid.
I have removed a couple sentences from the lede per WP:BLP. I will remove the other unsourced sentence unless a reference to a reliable published source can be provided. Self-published websites are not reliable sources; professional media are sufficient. — Carl (CBM · talk) 17:51, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
The sentence about Soldier of Fortune has two problems. I don't doubt that he appeared in the magazine, though. The first problem is the reference, which is not a reliable source. The second is that the lack of explanation or context seems to give unue weight to his mere appearance, without explaining what was said or why he was included. How about a ref to the actual appearance in the magazine? — Carl (CBM · talk) 20:07, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
I've removed two items per WP:BLP. The first is the item on Horiuchi's children and their reported homeschooling. This pretty clearly falls under Wikipedia:Blp#Presumption_in_favor_of_privacy, and additionally seems entirely unrelated to any notability Horiuchi has. It's essentially a throwaway remark in a news article, and we've elevated it to part of the lead. I also removed the item sourced to Outpost of Freedom. The sourcing requirements are fairly strict for biographies of living people, and are laid out in Wikipedia:Blp#Sources. There is no way that Outpost of Freedom qualifies as a usable source for a biography of Horiuchi. MastCell Talk 21:30, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
This has already been tagged. No source information was given, but it appears to be the same scan supposedly from Soldier of Fortune, thus is not even a reliable photo of him. I'm totally unimpressed with the rationales that were offered. Cool Hand Luke 02:45, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
