Subject is a police detective, who participated in solving an old murder case, for which he and his partner received the local Police Association's Detective of the Year Award. The references do give him and his colleague due credit for their achievement, but the focus is on the murder case, it is not on the two police detectives as such, although the article wants to leave that impression. The article was created as an auto-bio by the subject and has been maintained by him with some recent edit warring. It has previously been quasi-suggested on the article talk page that it should be merged into the TV series The First 48. I don't see how this should be done, and I don't see any other police officers getting separate mention. I have sought to ascertain if the murder case of Donald Martin merits an article, but I believe it would not meet WP:N/CA. In my point of view we here have a WP:BLP1E created as an WP:AB that fails WP:GNG. Sam Sailor ^Sing 23:52, 9 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment When you go searching for sources be aware, that a certain Jeffrey Schare from Westport, CT, is not identical with article subject. -- Sam Sailor ^Sing 23:59, 9 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Classic WP:BLP1E. I'm sure he's a stand-up cop and won the county award but in no way does he meet the bar for inclusion. Toddst1 (talk) 00:25, 10 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete per WP:GNG. This is not a BLP1E because BLP1E requires a "low profile individual". BLP1E is designed to protect an individual's privacy. That is not the case here, Schare was featured on the A&E show by his own volition, he clearly gave permission for national TV exposure and gave up his own privacy. So that leaves GNG. The A&E show is a very strong source, national television in depth about the topic. However it seems to end there, the John Boertlein articles are about a case Schare worked on .. weaker sources. The Hamilton County award is impressive but not enough to meet WP:ANYBIO #1 - if it was a state or national award I'd be more willing to see it as significant, but county level is local and we generally give less weight to local sources. Unless there are other source besides A&E and Boertlein, hard to see how it would pass GNG. -- Green Cardamom (talk) 17:32, 10 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Very informative, Green Cardamom, you are right regarding BLP1E, thank you. Best, Sam Sailor ^Sing 17:52, 10 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Weak notability and as courtesy to subject, who requested deletion via OTRS, although they never followed up so there was no attempt to verify their identity. §FreeRangeFrog^croak 18:54, 11 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
