 * Question for nominator The previous AfD closed as Keep with a suggestion to move the page to Suicide of Michael Marin as an alternative to deletion. Do you object to that move proposal? Bakazaka (talk) 20:28, 10 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Yes. Its lack of sources would fail WP:GNG and violate WP:NOTNEWS. THE DIAZ userpage • talk • contribs 00:44, 11 September 2018 (UTC)


 * Delete Reads like an obituary, fails 1Event. Reywas92Talk 23:11, 10 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete per Reywas92. Individual and event of his death seems completely unremarkable and uninteresting.  There is insufficient WP:RS in the lengthy article.  However, I did find more WP:RS, here.  If there is more WP:RS from independent sources that make this person seem worth having an article about, I might reconsider my !vote.    --David Tornheim (talk) 00:37, 11 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep per previous AfD here. I do see he is highlighted this book. The article definitely needs to include some of the these resources and focus on what the WP:RS says about him rather than the long rambling mostly unsourced narrative that indeed sounds more like an Obit.  included some important WP:RS there that changed my mind.  It's unfortunate that the WP:RS has not been used since then. --David Tornheim (talk) 00:53, 11 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep. Satisfies GNG. There are more sources besides the two in the article. There is a lot of coverage in GNews:  . 1E is not on the face of it a factor, as sources cover his whole life in detail. Even if it was a factor, the only result would be a page move to the event. NOTNEWS is not on the face of it a factor, because sources deal with events in his life several decades before the sources were published ("news" must be very recent). "Reads like an obituary" is not a grounds for deletion. It is difficult to see how BLP can apply to someone who died six years ago. James500 (talk) 02:52, 15 September 2018 (UTC)
