Comment. Is the one event his conviction, his exoneration, or his well documented activism and community work? pburka (talk) 22:34, 2 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. If this were a 1E case, we'd expect a burst of coverage, then nothing. Instead, I see: New York Times (2013), Prison Legal News (2015), New York Times (2016), CNN (2018), New York Post (2019), Exoneration Initiative (2020). He easily passes WP:GNG. pburka (talk) 00:35, 3 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Keep - clearly not BLP1E. Article can certainly be improved, but the subject is notable. Even if notability wasn't demonstrated (which it is), ATD tells us we should redirect instead, likely to a section of the detective's bio. 174.254.193.255 (talk) 22:05, 10 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Tentative keep - if and only if the reliable sources found by Pburka were added and the unreliable New York Post taken out, then and only then I would say this is a case of WP:HEY. Bearian (talk) 20:37, 13 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
