This was a news event, not an encyclopedic topic. Damiens.rf 15:46, 21 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Not just a news event forgotten as time goes by. The incident is still referred to as a high achievement of South Korean criminal investigation, and related to infant murder. So I think this article deserves its own article.--Caspian blue 15:50, 21 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. News, that's all. Szzuk (talk) 16:03, 21 October 2009 (UTC)'[reply]
- Delete immediately. If I want news I'll go head over to WikiNews. WOW WE ALREADY HAVE A WIKINEWS IMAGINE THAT. JBsupreme (talk) 16:16, 21 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Most articles about murder on Wikipedia are published via NEWS MEDIDA, WOW I DID NOT KNOW THAT.--Caspian blue 16:23, 21 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep and rename to Freezer Babies case. I don't read Korean or French, but searching "Veronique Courjault" reveals significant coverage that fulfills WP:GNG and WP:N/CA. WP:NOT#NEWS refers to "routine news coverage" which is not what this case has received. A brief look at GNews indicates that this story has received widespread international coverage; not just in South Korea and France, but also in the UK, the US, Turkey, Malta, etc.[1].

- Keep per Location. Substantial international news coverage over an extended period of time, thus passing WP:N/CA. Moreover the case has had effects beyond the crime itself: Mazarine Pingeot was accused of exploiting the case in one of her novels ([2], [3]). --Chris Johnson (talk) 18:29, 21 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Notable per substantial coverage in reliable sources and continuing relevance and reference being made to the event. ChildofMidnight (talk) 19:08, 21 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep, with possible name change? It's a bit too generic of a name to be on en.wiki. Forgive me for a lack of suggestions, though :-) Tan | 39 00:27, 22 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep and rename to Freezer Babies Case In line with policy the detail in this article seems notable enough for a keep, even though quite frankly it is a poorly written article with very little detail and in agreement with Tan - it needs to be renamed, firstly because the name is too generic, but secondly because it isn't accurate - Frozen Baby Case refers to the singular, and even the references refer to the case as Freezer Babies Case - given there were two infants.--VirtualSteve need admin support? 05:34, 22 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Well, I know this is indeed poorly written with not much details, but the title was named as such after examined on how English sources called the incident. It is not my invention..--Caspian blue 05:45, 22 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Still it could be changed in line with the English reference provided couldn't it?--VirtualSteve need admin support? 05:48, 22 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Of course, since I have to rely on native English speakers' help in the end (copyediting etc), I'm open to all suggestions for the renaming.--Caspian blue 05:57, 22 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
