Wikipedia is not here for news stories, this is something that might be ok for wikinews but not for wikipedia. βcommand 00:04, 20 September 2007 (UTC) (WP:BLP says the same: The bare fact that someone has been in the news does not in itself imply that they should be the subject of an encyclopedia entry.)

 * Delete, fails WP:UNDUE, there is nothing else about him to suggest that he meets WP:BIO. Burzmali 01:16, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete clear failure to show level of notability needed to support an encyclopedia article (as opposed to mention of facts in some other relevant article). Also fails WP:NOT Wikipedia properly considers the long-term historical notability of persons and events, keeping in mind the harm our work might cause. The fact that someone or something has been in the news for a brief period of time does not automatically justify an encyclopedia article ... in many cases this will mean not having a biography about someone who is not an encyclopedic subject, despite having made a brief appearance in the news. Timely news articles, however, are welcome on our sister project Wikinews. Classic case of this, based on reports and information to date.
