Fails WP:BIO; Wikipedia is not a memorial web site. Article content does not indicate significance of subject beyond personal/ family connection. Propose deletion Hu Gadarn 17:17, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
 * I disagree, I feel that he was in the news a lot after his death, especially local, so therefore his is notable. Smartyshoe 18:52, 26 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete, appears to be notable for only one event- his death. Seems to have no lasting notability, sad though the story is. J Milburn 19:03, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Tragic, but notability is based on one event that did not receive widespread or lasting coverage.  Cap'n Walker 20:53, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. Notability is well established. Colonel Warden 22:58, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, Wikipedia is not a newspaper. Sadly, high school sports result in the deaths of a handful of young people very year. They are not notable simply because they are few. --Dhartung | Talk 03:47, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
 * The policy to which your slogan points is mainly concerned to limit damage to living people by repeating hurtful stories about them. It is not applicable in this case because the person is dead.  Colonel Warden 05:44, 27 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete Sad, but, as has been said, not notable. ff m  17:05, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom with condolences to family. I see no established notability, and Colonel Warden has not provided any lnik. Google news archives provided many hits for this name. None were relevant to the subject when filtering for 2006. As tragic as this is, the subject does not meet WP:N. Cheers, :) Dloh cierekim  21:14, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
 * The article contains links to news stories. Unfortunantely, you must pay to view them, and they are only accesible through the Poughkeepsie Journal's news archives, then paying, and then viewing them. That is why the links in the article return erros. Smartyshoe 21:21, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
 * The Poughkeepsie Journal alone would not satisfy notability. Newspaper accounts in one's hometown do not indicate significant news coverage. Cheers, :) Dloh cierekim  21:37, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
 * There is also an atricle from the Times Herald Record. Smartyshoe 22:19, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

Sad. Very sad. Maybe the author should make a memorial webpage... But not notable. Tiptopper 23:08, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete
 * Comment There IS a memorial webpage (the link's in the article), this seems to me to be enough. NN Tiptopper 00:00, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
