If the central claim to notability of a person (such as a notable
rape) cannot be verifiably established, we ought not have an article
on them. Probably the best is move the text to AFC, ask for a source,
and speedy the original under "no claim to notability". Kind of an
abuse of the system, though, if it's the same person that deleted the
previous claim to notability :)
