Non-notable person, notable for one event only. The notable details about this person are covered extensively at 2004 Palm Island death in custody Mattinbgn\^talk 08:19, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This is a disputed PROD, no reason for disputing given. -- 08:21, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

There are only three references to Lex Wotton on that page and one link. It is incorrect to say that the notable details are covered extensively

There is more being said [1] here at Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Lex Wotton and [2] here at Talk:Lex Wotton.

• Comment probably best to bring the discussion here on the topic. The notable details, i.e. his arrest and trial are covered in the article I listed. The rest is filler, similar to the non-notable detail included in the Chris Hurley article (which perhaps should also be listed under BLP1E). We should be covering the event not the person. -- Mattinbgn\^talk 09:48, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Fails WP:BIO and as stated this is covered in the article 2004 Palm Island death in custody. BigDunc^Talk 11:09, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect to 2004 Palm Island death in custody. He is only notable for that, but it may be a valid search term. StarM 12:57, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect I agree that this person is notable for one incident and the incident is already covered. However there is some validity as a search term.--VS ^talk 21:16, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect to 2004_Palm_Island_death_in_custody, BLP1E issues here, but it is a possible search term. Lankiveil ^{(speak to me)} 09:28, 12 November 2008 (UTC).[reply]

• Redirect per above. Orderinchaos 08:35, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect (BLP1E), though 2004 Palm Island death in custody needs a little bit of an update (eg: conviction and sentencing). AntiStatic (talk) 12:05, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep but rename to Trial of Lex Wotton. I don't think it's sufficiently covered in the 2004 article, considering the amount of relatively recent coverage. Rebecca (talk) 07:35, 15 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Article has improved, expanded and has been tidied up with further references. Lex Wotton notable person.(Electromechanic (talk) 14:34, 15 November 2008 (UTC))— Electromechanic (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]
