Being murdered does not make you notable and as this murder took place only a week ago this is currenly simply a news story. There should be no article until and if it is established that it is not just of temporary interest, and then a more appropriate way of handling this would be in coverage of this particular crime or crimes of this type - the subject herself is unlikely to attain independent notability.

Delete. I agree with the nom. at the moment, it falls under WP:BIO1E and WP:NOT#NEWS. If this case's echo carries on for some time, only then an article should be created. McMarcoP (talk) 07:34, 2 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - fails WP:BIO1E and WP:NOT#NEWS. In fact the article was first created as "The Murder of Carol Daniels", which avoids WP:BIO1E, and then moved (wrongly, in my view) to "Carol Daniels"; but it fails WP:NOT#NEWS either way. JohnCD (talk) 08:20, 2 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment- see Wikipedia:News articles: Articles about items in the news are only considered encyclopedic if they are verifiably of significant lasting and historical interest and impact.... A violent crime, sensationalized event or accidental death may be notable enough to reporters and news editors to justify coverage in the news, but not be of encyclopedic importance... Articles should not be about events that have strictly passing significance and interest... For those who wish to write about current events, including those which may not be appropriate for an encyclopedia, our sister project, Wikinews is specifically intended to cover current events.

Move to Wikinews. Joe407 (talk) 07:10, 3 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
