Chen Lin (martyr)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Essentially a rescuer who died while transporting earthquake victims. Certainly admirable, but notable? Page is orphaned. I personally believe there is a conflict of interest, as the contributor has only worked on this 1 article, and that none of the other 4 martyrs who died in the same crash has gotten a page.

 * Delete/Weak merge With due respect for his work, this person just does not have a substantial enough role in the Wenchuan earthquake and would otherwise stay too low-profile for inclusion.  野狼院ひさし  u/t/c 12:10, 7 May 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete. First off, he is not a martyr as is commonly defined in English; there is no evidence he was a religious person, and he died due to a very common risk.  Secondly, we are not a memorial website. Finally, while tragic, his death was neither notable nor historic; there is no ongoing coverage of his death. Bearian (talk) 14:05, 15 May 2015 (UTC)
