 * Delete I hadn't refreshed and was adding an AfD tag myself. Although no one's death is truly minor, this was a minor event that happened to a not-notable person and had very limited news coverage. I'll add that this might be very painful to relatives and friends - we don't need this article and we should get rid of it as soon as possible. Dougweller (talk) 09:55, 7 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment. I agree that there's no basis for a bio article here. His death did receive significant press coverage, and it is discussed at Tilikum (orca).  It's possible that a few bits of the content here, and the additional sources, could be used to amplify the discussion there. --Arxiloxos (talk) 16:22, 7 February 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete Well, it isn't actually a BLP1E since the subject has been dead since 1999. An analogous principle applies, though, amd we shouldn't keep an article about an otherwise non-notable person who received press attention only because of the unusual nature of his death. As Arxiloxos notes, the death is covered in the article about the notable orca.  Cullen 328  Let's discuss it  01:03, 14 February 2013 (UTC)
