The result was Keep, no need to keep this open any longer. Seems to be a WP:POINT nomination -- after all, article is a WP:GA. Only delete votes seem to be WP:IDONTLIKEIT. Non-admin closure. Ten Pound Hammer • ( Broken clamshells• Otter chirps• Review?) 00:09, 12 August 2007 (UTC) reply

DELETE - Ok, The Madeleine McCann story is a tragic one and anyone who reads the tabloids has been 'briefed' day in and day out since May on whats happening with the case. however, short of etching her face on the surface of the moon, everything has been done to raise public awareness about her. Loads of children are reported missing every day/month/year, so what makes this disappearance so sensational that it has to be publicised on Wikipedia? If new legislation is passed because of the case or if it turns out that she went missing because of neglegence that leads to procecution; then it may warrant an entry but there is nothing exclusive here that indicates this case deserves any sort of special treatment. One example in contrast (and consequently a significant article) could be the Jamie Bulger murder which was essentially the first instance of horrific child creuelty which was VERY high profile and set a benchmark in legal prosecution being taken aginst children and not their legal guardians. Or another example of a significant article would be the video game 'Manhunt' which conseqently led to an investigation into the link of violent video games to violent behaviour after the murder of a Leicester youth in 2004. As things stand at the moment, The McCann story simply doesnt warrant the attention it's receiving, let alone on a site that is used for academic and common knowledge purposes. If you're looking for updates on her, read the papers. Once her status is established, by all means produce an article IF something unique arises from the circumstances. but this is an irrelevant article for an encylopedia site. Irrelevant and of no historical value. Frequency24 11/08/07 22.24 GMT
