 * Delete. Barely a local news event, and Wikipedia is not a you-know-what. Clarityfiend (talk) 03:39, 6 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep - article is historically significant and encyclopedic. There are plenty of citations.  This article is the same as many related articles on Wikipedia: Death of Kenton Joel Carnegie and Taylor Mitchell.  There are many other similar articles in the following +cats Category:Deaths due to wolf attacks, Category:Deaths due to bear attacks, Category:Deaths due to coyote attacks, Category:Deaths due to dog attacks there are many others!

 * see WP:OTHERSTUFF, but I have not dismissed this argument without considering it. Taylor Mitchell was a singer of some modest notability.  Death of Kenton Joel Carnegie appears to have attracted media attention because the cause of his death was unclear.E.M.Gregory (talk) 17:15, 6 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Taylor Mitchell may not have been famous exactly, but she attained her notability by passing WP:NMUSIC as a recording and touring musician before she was attacked by coyotes, not by the fact of dying in a coyote attack — even if she hadn't been attacked at all and were still alive, that article would still exist as the coyote attack actually had nothing to do with making her notable (all it actually accomplished was getting the article started perhaps a few weeks earlier than it would have otherwise, but her basic includability was because album and concert tour and music award nomination, not because coyotes.) Carnegie is sourced and substanced as having had significant impacts beyond simply documenting the fact that he was attacked. Every wolf or coyote attack that has ever happened at all is not automatically a suitable article topic just because it happened; we need something more than "thing that happened", such as enduring impacts or a victim who was already notable for other reasons anyway, before a standalone article is warranted.

 * Merge and redirect to List of fatal coyote and wolf attacks in Canada because few sources plus a the perfect target exists.E.M.Gregory (talk) 17:15, 6 September 2016 (UTC)
 * As far as I can see, the guy survived. Clarityfiend (talk) 21:30, 6 September 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete - As mentioned, its a local event, that has no evidence of any ongoing notability outside of the current news cycle. Wikipedia is not a newspaper.64.183.45.226 (talk) 17:10, 7 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Merge to List of wolf attacks per WP:NOTNEWS. With just one source and no substance beyond "this happened", the depth of coverage and the significance needed to make this a suitable standalone article topic has not been shown — and the other proposed merge target, List of fatal coyote and wolf attacks in Canada, isn't suitable because the guy didn't die. Also it was created by the same user at the same time, isn't needed as a separate topic from the overview article that already exists, and is also up for AFD on that basis. But the more general list doesn't have a fatality restriction on it, which makes it a more viable target. Bearcat (talk) 19:40, 7 September 2016 (UTC)


 * Redirect to List of wolf attacks per WP:NOTNEWS; not notable on its own. K.e.coffman (talk) 04:32, 12 September 2016 (UTC)
