490:. It's too early to tell if this case will engender any sort of lasting change, and unless it does, it's just yet another example of wealth buying privilege. If it DOES cause change, we can always recreate it later. I appreciate people see deleting the page as "covering" for Ethan, but WP should not be used as a scarlet letter. -

I count on wikipedia to provide the facts of this incident. The article does not seem like a judgment. It is very factual and it helps me to quickly understand what's happening in this case. Please keep this page. We can easily judge for ourselves without wikipedia but at least wikipedia is there to

This should not be deleted, regardless of outcome, because it's an interesting and notable case that spawned a (however short-lived) social controversy. Keeping it costs
Knowledge (XXG) nothing while deleting it would make it that much harder to find out information about this. I was researching the
687:(so shouldn't remain as a stand-alone article), particularly since the example there is someone that tried to assassinate an American President. I'm also concerned that he's a juvenile (NPR declined to even name him on the air), although I'm not aware whether that raises any policy issue for us.--

and that you have userboxes such as "This user is a member of WikiProject US Courts and judges" on your user page makes me believe that you are proposing this article deletion NOT because your care about
Knowledge (XXG) and its well-being BUT because you are pursuing some kind of personal agenda,

The incident is unquestionably notable and deserves mentioning due to widespread media coverage alone. Also, judging by the facts that you do not propose any alternative solution to preserving this information, you have the gall to use phrase such as "no long term significance" while you yourself

But in recent days, the implications of being rich have set off an emotional, angry debate that has stretched far beyond the North Texas suburbs, after a juvenile court judge sentenced a 16-year-old from a well-off family to 10 years’ probation for killing four people in a drunken-driving crash.

There is a clear consensus that this article should not be deleted. There is some feeling that the article should be moved, or that it should be merged into another article, but no consensus for either. However, this closure is made without prejudice against raising either or both of those

This case does sound like it has a social impact. I don't see how Ethan Couch is notable apart from the case, and will refrain from commenting on him personally. Note that I came to the page from
Crooked Timber, which linked to the current page. So a redirect is appropriate.

Western intellectual beings. Knowledge (XXG) is more of a resource. It is not an encyclopedia per say.

The facts of the case are needed to judge the validity of the sentence. People who hear about a teen getting probation for four deaths need to know the details to judge whether justice was served.
580:
This case isn't going away. Its close to the top of many front pages today. Having an article about both the case and one or more principals involved isn't problematic in my opinion.

741:- My first instinct is that the "Ethan Couch case" is a key story regarding the affluenza defense. With that being said, at a minimum, the article should be redirected

Since the suggested redirect target does not exist, and never has existed, I can only assume that the editors saying "redirect" actually mean "keep and rename".
563:; while I think the case itself will have its own legal and social repercussions and is certainly notable, I do not believe Ethan Couch himself is very notable.

This case is indisputably notable, but I don't think there's any way to find enough biographical information on this guy without raising privacy concerns. The

The case has recieved nationwide/international publicity and interest and easily meets notability requirements. Probably should be retitled though.

This is the central figure in what has already become an important legal case, one that has injected a novel legal theory into real life.

This does have long term consequences because of potential Case Law and could be considered notable and general societal impact.
