Very little coverage of his life, only references are about his death, prior to dying he would not be notable. Murry1975 (talk) 19:26, 25 October 2015 (UTC)

Keep: Anyone searching for information on him will likely first find a huge number of hits for webpages that had been published following his death. Understandable in the context of there being so many people who were moved by the tragedy of his death. But it would be wrong to make the assumption that he was not notable. I have added a range of reliable sources to the article, published before his death, which give some indication that he enjoyed some significant coverage. He clearly passes WP:GNG.

Keep:Continuing on what was said above, and as the creator of the article, I think that he should be kept. He was a great pioneer in head and neck injuries after motorcycle helmets. It may not be well documented online, but he collected data on the removal of motorcycle helmets after accidents. In the medical community and motorcycle community he enjoyed a lot of notability for his work. He even published a paper on removing helmets and leathers directly after accidents!

 * Keep - he was an acknowledged expert in his field, even if not a tenured professor. WP:PROF does not require all elements. Bearian (talk) 20:05, 4 November 2015 (UTC)
