Sources mentioned are only about his death, no GNG. SeanJ 2007 (talk) 05:20, 8 August 2022 (UTC)

 * Keep. Articles are obituaries. They're not about his death, which would fail WP:ONEEVENT, they're occasioned by his death. It's not uncommon for someone to only meet GNG after they die because of obituaries.--Jahaza (talk) 05:38, 8 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Okay, but there are NO sources that mentions about his life and career execept about his death. SeanJ 2007 (talk) 06:06, 8 August 2022 (UTC)
 * That's not quite true see here and, e.g. here.--Jahaza (talk) 06:25, 8 August 2022 (UTC)
 * the first source you mention still mentions about his death, the second I dont know (needed experts about this). Please find other sources that mentions about his LIFE and CAREER, if theres none, there is a chance that it may be redirected or deleted. Please research properly. SeanJ 2007 (talk) 06:40, 8 August 2022 (UTC)
 * You can also research! The "first source" is an entire page of stories in which he is tagged. Most of them are not about his death. There's nothing in policy as far as I know that says that obituaries can't be the main sources for an article, so long as the person is not notable merely for how they died.--Jahaza (talk) 06:49, 8 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep - per Jahaza. If you filter out recent results on Google, you can see Sison appearing frequently in news sources prior to his death, but most of the sources weren't just particularly good/reliable for encyclopedic inclusion. The obituaries are providing specifically citeable sources, but it's clear they are about a career and ONEEVENT does not apply. matt91486 (talk) 11:10, 8 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep since sources verified that he has several notable roles (as host) on various TV and radio programs. With that in mind, articles regarding the recently deceased are perfectly valid sources, in fact they're important for notable people in the 2000s and earlier whose potential references might have been only available offline. -- Lenticel ( talk ) 22:45, 8 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Easy keep. Another nom where WP:BEFORE was not done, and one of the policies like WP:GNG was misrepresented. Obits are perfectly valid sources and are often used as such in the "Recent deaths" section of WP:ITN. Please, stop making up bogus policies. Howard the Duck (talk) 23:15, 8 August 2022 (UTC)
 * , spare us wasting our time and withdraw this useless nomination. It's never too late! Howard the Duck (talk) 23:16, 8 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep per Jahaza. This page only just focused on WP:BASIC (where that meets the criteria) which is under WP:NBIO. CruzRamiss2002 (talk) 11:55, 9 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment Can someone withdraw this nomination, I understand the votes above and their comments. SeanJ 2007 (talk) 10:11, 10 August 2022 (UTC)
