This page should be deleted because it is based purely on speculation. The article is about a man whose daughter claims that he is a murderer. The bodies of his alleged victims were supposedly located in a well. This well was searched by authorities and they discovered no evidence of anything. This article is about a man who is only "notable" for claims with no evidence, and it should be deleted for this reason. Silent-Rains ( talk) 03:50, 10 December 2022 (UTC)

- Comment appears GNG based on the sources, but appears to be speculation at this point. I'd rather recreate it when the story is confirmed, one way or the other. Oaktree b ( talk) 23:04, 10 December 2022 (UTC)

- Delete, per WP:CRIMINAL, this is basically a report of an investigate into a possible murder suspect. Judging by the final sentence, there was o evidence of his being a serial killer. Though this investigation has attracted some international interest, its inconclusive outcome makes it unsuitable for a Wikipedia article. Sionk ( talk) 15:44, 17 December 2022 (UTC)

- Delete per WP:BIO1E, this individual was only notable due to claims of a crime made by his daughter that have so far been unsubstantiated. The event probably isn't notable per WP:NOTNEWS as it only received coverage over a very short period of time, meaning there is nothing to redirect to.
