I can't see how he is particularly notable. There are millions of journalists out there, many who can refer to famous people they have interviewed, so why is this one so notable? Andrew Duffell (talk) 09:44, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete. Agree.  Does not seem to notable.   Summary seems to be: Young guy who worked for an investment bank, interviewed a few musicians 4-5 years ago, organized some parties with some friends and  made newspapers after commiting suicide.  Sorry if this sounds harsh, but if everyone with a good job and side interests had a page on Wikipedia there would be no room for anything else. 198.240.128.75 (talk) 13:21, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep and see WP:NOTPAPER - Peregrine Fisher (talk) (contribs) 03:41, 13 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Was wondering about the reason for the keep - is this becasue you think the article is notable? If so, could you say what you think is notable about it as this will be useful for discussion to reach consensus - 198.240.128.75 (talk) 12:08, 19 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete page has following issues WP:BLP1E WP:COI not notable see WP:BIO 213.120.3.11 (talk) 22:52, 14 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Disagree. Seems notable because of prominent achievements and substantial press coverage in major publications following his death. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rapachella (talk • contribs) 00:27, 19 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Could you give an example of a prominent achievement with a reliable source - I do not see anything notable in the current article. Also read WP:BLP1E regarding press coverage of his death - 198.240.128.75 (talk) 12:08, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Comment - Looking at the comments made so far, it seems that the main question that needs to be answered is "Is this person notable?". If they are, then the article should be kept, if they are not then the article should be deleted (as per WP:BIO).  I suggest that the best way to reach consensus would be for anyone who thinks that this person is notable to take a look at WP:BIO and then indicate on this page the criteria that they feel confers notability.  This can then be discussed to try and reach a consensus, cheers - 198.240.128.75 (talk) 17:48, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete--does not strike me as notable. Drmies (talk) 19:07, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep per coverage in reliable sources from 2003 through 2009 seem to meet criteris of WP:GNG. Sad about his death, but he was being covered for years before that final event. MichaelQSchmidt (talk) 09:47, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
 * coverage of what? a routine suicide? Delete   DGG ( talk ) 18:19, 29 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep I agree with MQS. The article is not about the suicide, it's about the person. They've been covered substantially over several years by various reliable media. I don't think it's a great article so it's not the end of the world if it's deleted, but I think it meets the notability requirements for a biography. ChildofMidnight (talk) 20:27, 29 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete. The article was initially created just before his suicide, probably to advertise his events management company, but he's only been written about in the press due to his suicide, which made the news due to him being an investment banker. This is a classic one event biography. He wasn't a notable journalist, nor a notable investment banker, nor a notable events manager. What MQS and CoM see as notable coverage before his death amounts to some articles he wrote as a student and a BBC intern, a tiny piece in the gossip section of the Mirror referring to some email exchange he had when a student journalist, and a single piece in a local paper about coming second for an award. He might have been someday, but that'll never pass now. Fences  &amp;  Windows  03:33, 30 August 2009 (UTC)
