Contested prod. Notability outside of the local news level is not asserted, and WP:NTEMP applies - the sources available are the standard local/national blitz for a few days, and then very little else. Google News has a nice trend chart here showing that outside of Jan. 22-23, 2009 (around when the event took place) and May 6, 2009 (his court appearance), there was no coverage of note to establish this as anything more than temporary.

Delete. For reasons above and WP:NOT#NEWS. Jnthn0898 (talk) 20:08, 17 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, preferably Speedy. WP:NOT#NEWS, WP:BLP1E. This is not reliably sourced, even the references say "allegedly", "reportedly". This article massively fails WP:BLP Martin451 (talk) 01:19, 18 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Reviewing the pre-blanking version of the article (yes, we can describe allegations concerning living people, provided they are supported by reliable sources and properly noted as claims, not statements of fact) delete per WP:NOT#NEWS. Andrea105 (talk) 02:07, 18 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Textbook example of WP:NOT#NEWS. No significant coverage outside of the local area. Location (talk) 04:53, 18 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
