Wikipedia is not for news; the article can always be recreated if this turns out to be more than a passing news-cycle story. –Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 18:33, 1 August 2019 (UTC)

• Delete. I contested the PROD because my opinion is that WP:NOTNEWS matters are better handled at AFD. Still, the topic clearly has a ways to go before it is suitable for WP. FoxyGrampa75 (talk) 18:41, 1 August 2019 (UTC)

• Keep due to the unusual amount of national news coverage that this murder is getting. Note that teh murder took place on July 14 and that coverage in national media has been ONGOING through today. This does not like the sort of ROUTINE crime that falls under WP:NOTNEWS. E.M.Gregory (talk) 21:15, 1 August 2019 (UTC)
• Keep due to the extensive coverage on national media, which has been continous since the murder took place. Furthermore, this made rounds on social media due to the nature of the leaked images, which lead to hundreds of thousands of accounts accross Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, discussing the murder and redistributing the images. I argue that these factors give this murder a particular significance, rather than simply being another murder in the news cycle. I would keep this article, but I might add more information about the social media reaction at a later point. Appleedits 12:28, 2 August 2019 (UTC)

Please feel free to go ahead and incorporate the draft/rewrite the article. It's a very nicely written draft. Note that coverage continues. Man who police say killed Instagram star Bianca Devins wears bulletproof vest to plead not guilty.E.M.Gregory (talk) 10:25, 4 August 2019 (UTC)

• Keep a notable death meets WP:SIGCOV Lightburst (talk) 14:29, 4 August 2019 (UTC)
• Keep - neither PROD nor delete article. Per WP:GNG.BabbaQ (talk) 15:31, 4 August 2019 (UTC)
• Keep per WP:RAPID. Extensive international coverage from murder to date. At this point in time, lacking a crystal ball, we can not determine whether said coverage will continue (though it seems likely it will), and the sole issue here for NEVENT/NCRIME is continued coverage, therefore per RAPID we err on the side of keeping the article.
