 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Seems that this could be redireced or merged into an article about 2020 coronavirus pandemic in ICE detention centers? buidhe 02:18, 8 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Maybe a mention can be made at Immigration detention in the United States or U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Mohanabhil (talk) 06:01, 10 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete. Ref (chew) (do) 05:01, 12 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep news article yesterday from The Guardian here states his death is causing an ICE agency-wide review. Also seen other articles mentioning vigils and protests in different cities across the US. Seems like this death goes beyond BLP1E territory. Rab V (talk) 14:16, 13 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Leaning keep per Rab V, or possibly move to draft pending likely additional reporting. I will add the Guardian reference to the article. BD2412  T 00:47, 15 May 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep per Rab V. "The lawmakers demanded that ICE give a briefing and documentation by May 22 on the death of Carlos Ernesto Escobar Mejia, who died of complications from COVID-19 while in custody." (Source) Xicanx (talk) 01:11, 18 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:SIGCOV. I disagree with the nominator's assertion that this meets all three requirements listed in WP:BLP1E (specifically conditions 2 and 3). Point 2 states that a biography for an otherwise low-profile individual should be redirected to the event which is exactly the case here: Carlos Ernesto Escobar Mejía. The significant coverage in WP:RS and responses by numerous WP:N organizations and officials seems to contradict the claim that "the event is not significant."

 * Keep - his death will be investigated by the United States Senate. Bearian (talk) 16:45, 21 May 2020 (UTC)
