Person who has garnered a couple of articles of human interest media coverage — but as all he did to garner that is travel a bit, none of it rises to the level necessary to make him notable enough to be permanently enshrined in an encyclopedia. Delete. Bearcat (talk) 19:18, 22 November 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep per WP:GNG. Pburka (talk) 15:07, 27 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep - There's a lot of coverage in newspapers when reviewing the search results in Google news. If that were all that happened, I'd agree it would be a one event item of news coverage.  However, we see that coverage persists as he is covered again in 2013.  -- Whpq (talk) 17:30, 27 November 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep He traveled more than "a bit", he meets the GNG as I found worldwide coverage, and I don't know where the "permanently enshrined" comment comes from. A Wikipedia article simply means that a topic is notable. A Wikipedia article is not a shrine.  Cullen 328  Let's discuss it  02:18, 30 November 2013 (UTC)
