This article, a BLP authored by User:Jacobeiler, is about a gay kid who took his boyfriend to prom in 1997, and had his car vandalized. News outlets noticed, but interest was ephemeral, and he moved on to an ordinary enough life. I submit this should be deleted under WP:BLP1E.

 * Delete, there's not much to add from what Abductive said. Shadowjams (talk) 09:59, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Delete, a perfect example of BLP1E; we grant exceptions to that in rare cases, but this guy isn't anywhere close to the level of Seung-Hui Cho or John Wilkes Booth. Nyttend (talk) 05:44, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete An obvious case of WP:BLP1E and his listed accomplishments are just plain vague and show little evidence of WP:GNG. Doomsdayer520  (Talk|Contribs) 12:23, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep but drastically re-write, or userfy, or incubate. He's still a notable, and National, speaker for PFLAG.  He's kept his day job as a webmaster.  The initital incident that brought him fame happened in 1997, but the article's better sources date from 2006, so this is more than ephemeral fame.  Much of the current stub is a rough edit of this article from Oasis magazine.  I don't know where to start in the editing process, so if it's deleted I would strongly encourage userfying/incubation.
