Andrew Meyer
AfDs for this article: 
 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Non-notable person. He was involved in one incident at a school, and this page should redirect to University of Florida Taser incident. In fact, at a previous AfD, the result was merge, but for whatever reason a user recreated the page. I'm not sure if this is a speedy redirect case, or if it's been so long since the last AfD, that it should be discussed again.  C T J F 8 3 Talk 17:19, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Adding that we already have enough of the notable details on Meyer at University_of_Florida_Taser_incident  C T J F 8 3 Talk 18:25, 19 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Strong keep - Notable and well sourced. Badagnani (talk) 17:24, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Does it mean nothing that a previous AfD had a redirect consensus?  C T J F 8 3 Talk 17:25, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete This is one of those "one-incident" people, that really aren't notable by themselves (no matter how many sources confirming the one incident there are). However, the incident might very well be worth reporting, and an article on that might stand a better chance of surviving on Wikipedia. EDIT: Just realised that the incident does have its own page- I will support merging and redirecting. The DominatorTalkEdits 17:29, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
 * redirect to the tasering incident, and if necessary protect the re-direct so we don't have to keep coming back here any time someone in good faith thinks we need an article on him. Also, Merge any useful information to the article on the tasering incident. WP:BLP1E states that we should be covering the incident (which is notable) instead of the person (who's not notable outside being tasered while yelling "DON'T TASE ME BRO!").

 * Redirect and protect the redirect. No notability outside of the one incident means a redirect to the article on that incident is the correct course. Davewild (talk) 17:34, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep - the person seems to be notable enough, of course in connection with the incident. I expect this debate to be closed by an administrator, unlike the previous debate.Biophys (talk) 17:40, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Redirect to University of Florida Taser incident. He has zero notability outside the tasering incident (apart from this connection, he's merely one of zillion university undergrads). Gordonofcartoon (talk) 18:04, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. Undoubtedly notable, and sourcing is not a problem either. Дигвурен ДигвуровичАллё? 18:10, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Redirect to the single incident for which this person is known. If this isn't textbook WP:BLP1E, I'm not sure what is. ReverendWayne (talk) 18:31, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Note: This debate has been included in the list of Living people-related deletion discussions.  -- SpacemanSpiff (talk) 18:36, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Obvious Redirect to University of Florida Taser incident. Bigdaddy1981 (talk) 19:07, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Redirect No notability, should be a minor inclusion in article on UF tasering.Fuzbaby (talk) 21:19, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge/redirect/delete One event non notable BLP Triplestop (talk) 21:53, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Redirect and protect, textbook WP:BLP1E. A convincing keep counterargument would refute this by pointing to specific examples of Meyer's notability beyond the incident. A less compelling argument could be that the incident is significant enough to require separate articles for its participants. Disclosure: I attempted to redirect this article a few days ago. I am familiar with the University of Florida Taser incident article. This article is completely redundant with zero non-duplicated content to merge. Some biographical details were merged to the incident article with the first redirection in September 2007. Flatscan (talk) 04:25, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Protected Redirect to University of Florida Taser incident. Nothing beyond WP:BLP1E. -SpacemanSpiff (talk) 06:22, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Absolutely a case of WP:BLP1E. Did nothing of note before or after the event. No matter how many sources you pile up, it all comes back to the single event. If it is re-directed, it needs to be protected. Niteshift36 (talk) 21:09, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
 *  Merge  as suggested above. rmosler (talk) 06:20, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
