Darren Harris (law enforcement officer)

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

While it's possible that the suicides as a whole were notable, there's no indication Harris is a notable person. While he is deceased, WP:BLP1E applies as this was a recent death. A redirect to Santa_Clarita_Valley_Sheriff_Station might make sense, but expecting that to be contented given creator's belief that the article is "approved" so briging it here for a broader discussion.

 * This event is historical. Harris was a Captain who committed suicide and 3 others followed within 48 hours of his, an unprecedented event in LASD history. His role in the 4 suicides was substantial as being the first one, and him having the highest rank. According to Los Angeles Times, Harris was a notable, "Recognizable figure on TV". Harris roles, as described in his article, primarily dealt with him being on TV. Comintell (talk) 17:04, 5 December 2023 (UTC)
 * "making statements on live television and to members of the media" does not confer notability, that was his job as a spokesperson. You're making the case for the suicides being notable. Not Harris as an individual, unfortunately. Star   Mississippi  17:31, 5 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete: Holding a Transportation position in the Department is not notable. As sad as this may be, very much a non-notable individual. Routine coverage is all there is to be found for sourcing; his job was no different than any other mid-level law enforcement officer. Oaktree b (talk) 17:34, 5 December 2023 (UTC)
