Edelmiro Abad
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log )

Non-notable WP:ORPHAN stub article. Victim of September 11 attacks but does not meet WP:NOTABILITY guidelines. Also, article falls under WP:NOTMEMORIAL. Nominating individually based upon earlier AFD.  Sottolacqua  (talk) 17:46, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete I agree, non-notable as we define it. From what I can tell, this was an early contribution by an editor who was new at the time and may not have been aware of the bar of WP:NOTMEMORIAL.  Abad was second in the alphabet, right after Gordy Aamoth Jr, so that project was stopped early on.  The memorial ban is one of the best policies that we have, harsh but necessary.

 * Delete - WP:NOTMEMORIAL, this should be all that needs to be said. Zero notability even in terms of the 9/11 subject, his name just appears on a CNN list and a few memorial websites. Tarc (talk) 15:27, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete per WP:NOTMEMORIAL (a policy which was originally created, if memory serves correctly, precisely for this purpose: to avoid having thousands of articles about non-notable victims of the 9/11 attacks). Unless additional sources can be provided to demonstrate notability, he doesn't pass the inclusion test. Robofish (talk) 22:53, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
