Sherrice Iverson

I SEE SOME OF YOU WANTED HER TO BE DELETED, WHY BECAUSE SHE'S BLACK? WHY NOT DELETE SAMANTHA RUNNION, JONBENET, DANIELLE VAN DAM?? ARE THEY MORE IMPORTANT??

Poor little girl, age 7, murdered in a bathroom. Very sad, but not notable: it happens far too often. — Bill 21:09, 23 Oct 2004 (UTC)

• Comment: This isn't a vote, but she seems to have inspired some legislation in Nevada, so she might be notable enough. Lord Bob 21:25, Oct 23, 2004 (UTC)
  • The legislation may be notable. Include this information in a footnote there and all is good. Having it here is not encyclopedic. Delete. --Improv 22:38, 23 Oct 2004 (UTC)
    • Good point. Delete. Lord Bob 23:17, Oct 23, 2004 (UTC)
  • If she inspired legislation, she should be included in the article about the legislation for sure. Is there an article on it? If not create one and merge/redirect —siroχo 02:23, Oct 24, 2004 (UTC)
• Delete: As with other victims of crime and accident who inspire reforms, their accounts need to be told in the story of the thing done in reaction, and not as a memorial. Geogre 01:36, 24 Oct 2004 (UTC)

*Delete. This is a new low from our old pal, the B-Movie Bandit. Merge/redirect is OK. - Lucky 6.9 23:04, 24 Oct 2004 (UTC)

• I've expanded the article based on the info provided on the weblink. That story made big headlines here in California and deserves more than what the Bandit left. - Lucky 6.9 23:24, 24 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Comment: The Bandit got it wrong. The crime happened in Primm Valley. That's 40 miles southwest of Las Vegas on the California state line, for those unfamiliar with the area. - Lucky 6.9 23:30, 24 Oct 2004 (UTC)

• Strong Keep after Lucky's good work. —siroχo 13:34, Oct 29, 2004 (UTC)
• Keep. Guanaco 22:55, 30 Oct 2004 (UTC)
• Keep. If she inspired legislation that's clearly notable. DG 05:56, 31 Oct 2004 (UTC)
