Person only has notability for attempting to intrude the White House. This article does not pass WP:NOTNEWS/WP:NOT or WP:BIO1E/WP:BLP1E. There are no references. It and the others like it could easily be merged into White House intruders Reywas92 Talk  22:14, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

I am also nominating the following related pages because they are all related and easily mergable to White House intruders and do not pass WP:NOTNEWS/WP:NOT or WP:BIO1E/WP:BLP1E:


 * Strong Keep, I'm going to assume this was a good faith attempt to clean up the project, but you're suggesting a man who flew a plane into the White House in an attempt to assassinate the President is "not notable"? That seems highly suspect -- same for attempted assassins who fired shotguns and assault rifles at American presidents -- I'm not even American, but they're all at least as notable as Andre Dallaire.

 * Maybe I shouldn't have bundled the nomination. Leland William Modjeski, Chester Plummer and Gerald Gainous should be deleted/merged at the very least, though. The others' articles are a bit longer and may be notable, but I am a strong mergist. Reywas92 Talk  23:32, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Plummer was shot and killed by the Secret Service, I'd say he definitely fits notability. Arguments could be made for Gainous and Modjeski though; who at the very least, need to have their articles improved/reffed. Sherurcij (speaker for the dead) 23:36, 10 November 2008 (UTC)


 * I would strongly urge that these articles be nominated individually and not collectively; in default of individual consideration, keep. Sam Blacketer (talk) 23:41, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
