 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

Not-notable, single website-sourced. Iconoclast.Horizon (talk) 15:10, 23 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep Well sourced. I count at least five websites. stuff.co.nz is the collective website of all but two of New Zealand's major daily newspapers. Stuartyeates (talk) 18:54, 23 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment Found two sources which seem good: http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=10779764 and http://www.3news.co.nz/Tributes-pour-in---but-who-really-was-Blanket-Man/tabid/423/articleID/239457/Default.aspx. -- Toshio Yamaguchi (tlk−ctb) 19:44, 23 August 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete : Not-notable outside of locality. Also, the one umbrella web source promoting stories about Hana appears merely indulgent of making a character of a local for web-copy and print if nothing more. Iconoclast.Horizon (talk) 02:10, 24 August 2012 (UTC) Double vote striked. Nomination for deletion already implies a "delete" vote. Cavarrone (talk) 19:41, 26 August 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep Notable within NZ, but not internationally. Well reported in national, not just local media NealeFamily (talk) 05:05, 25 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep as being noteworthy because of media attention. Even more noteworthy is an article about, say, Poverty in New Zealand. But hey, that's how WP works... -- Alan Liefting (talk - contribs) 11:41, 25 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete I don't see why Ben Hana is "significant, interesting, or unusual enough to deserve attention or to be recorded" and therefore, in my opinion, the article does not meet WP:BIO.--Juristicweb (talk) 03:06, 26 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment meets WP:BASIC on media coverage NealeFamily (talk) 09:27, 27 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep well-sourced, clearly passes WP:GNG. I don't see any valid concern for deletion. Cavarrone (talk) 18:06, 26 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep the article has been at AfD before, so if it was considered notable then, how can it have lost notability in the meantime?  Schwede 66  20:44, 27 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep - per above - SimonLyall (talk) 11:19, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
