This article is about someone notable only for a minor viral video and who, apparently, is now suspected of murder. All sources are related to one of those two things. It may be "two events" but in my opinion, this is basically a WP:BLP1E case. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 06:10, 17 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep as original article creator, although I will admit he's borderline. The coverage is from this year, but begins in February and goes through this month. If this doesn't survive AfD, I don't mind taking it back into my userspace and incubating it for a few more weeks. It's likely to get more coverage (not saying this as an argument for its inclusion, but just saying that I believe it'll get more in the future to warrant a solid keep/re-add if it's deleted) and if that does occur, I'll re-add it. The big thing here is that there's quite a bit of coverage right now and he kept getting covered even after his February incident. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)   06:46, 17 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep Despite NorthBySouthBaranof claiming that two incidents are "basically a WP:BLP1E case," last time i took a math class, two did not equal one. We have a WP:BLP1E rule -- not a BLP2E rule or a BLP3E rule -- and more people have viewed that video than have read many famous books or voted for many politicians. Those people will be following this second incident as well. 70.36.137.19 (talk) 08:31, 17 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep As a journalist, I'd say this story will keep growing and become very celebrated, unless for some reason he's not charged. In other words, if you take it down now you'll only be putting it up again in a month or so. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.116.30.204 (talk) 12:16, 17 May 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep Yes, it seems to be alright but can do with additional information, if Tokyogirl79 does 'incubate it for a few more weeks' I think it would be alright. TwinTurbo (talk) 18:11, 17 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep, He has received coverage and been on several television shows after the fact. The fact that it's making waves that he is now arrested is a second event that adds to notability.Hell In A Bucket (talk) 02:48, 18 May 2013 (UTC)
