I don't see how this person passes WP:N. Just a run-of-the mill news story that I'd expect to see in an And finally... bulletin.  Lugnuts  Dick Laurent is dead 20:38, 7 November 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep - The coverage, if one time, could be characterised as a run of the mill news story. However, this is not the case with this individual.  His death was widely reported: AllAfrica, Daily Nation, Capital News, ABC News, and Radio Netherlands are just some examples of many.  Prior to his death, he has received coverage over a period of time:  Pittsburgh Post-Gazette (1999), BBC News (2000), Drum magazine (2001), Sydney Morning Herald (2004), Der Speigel (2004).  Note also how international the coverage is. -- Whpq (talk) 00:04, 9 November 2012 (UTC)
 * I have no doubt that his death was widely reported, but is that just because of the unusual-ness of the man in question? Does he justify having an article about him on WP? At best a couple of lines of this article could be added to the polygamy article.  Lugnuts  Dick Laurent is dead 08:09, 9 November 2012 (UTC)
 * And all that coverage prior to his death? -- Whpq (talk) 11:13, 9 November 2012 (UTC)


 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Keep per Whpq. Loads of references before and after his death. Clarityfiend (talk) 22:43, 14 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete per G12: All but four sentences on this page were plagiarized form this ABC news article.  I've speedied it, and am requesting administrative early closure of this AfD per WP:SPEEDYCLOSE. — Francophonie&#38;Androphilie  (Je vous invite à me parler ) 10:00, 15 November 2012 (UTC)
