• Delete, with respect for the dead. If there's any article into which this could be merged i.e. Chicago Murder Victims (I'm too lazy to look for one myself) then that would be OK. 23skidoo 03:50, 15 Jan 2005 (UTC)
• Merge if possible, and delete. Khanartist 03:57, 2005 Jan 15 (UTC)
• Delete, or maybe merge somewhere. (But at least she was killed; Kevyn Wynn gets an article thanks to having been kidnapped, and returned "before the authorities even knew she was missing". Is this TrueCrimeOpedia as well as Fancruftopedia? Er, sorry for that digression.) -- Hoary 11:03, 2005 Jan 15 (UTC)
• Keep or Merge if true. Factual articles should not be deleted. Grue 13:40, 15 Jan 2005 (UTC)
• Keep if there's a reference. No reason to delete if it's verifiable - David Gerard 15:27, 15 Jan 2005 (UTC)

  The information does appear to be verifiable, based on Google. And she was a subject of a made for TV movie, Gone in the Night. As far as I can tell, those are her only two claims to notability: getting murdered, and having a TV movie. I guess the point is, do we really want to have an article on everyone listed at [2]? (You have to scroll a few pages down for Jaclyn.) dbenbenn | talk 18:07, 15 Jan 2005 (UTC)

  I see no reason why not. Wiki is not paper. I'm not all fired up about creating such, but not wanting them specifically is not the same as requiring their deletion. - David Gerard 17:36, 20 Jan 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. Non-notable crime victim. Factuality does not equal notability, no matter how often the radical inclusionists may say so. RickK 00:18, Jan 16, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, my sympathy to her relatives but she isnt that notable enough to warrant inclusion. Wikipedia is also not a memorial. Megan1967 01:25, 16 Jan 2005 (UTC)
