Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Morgan Innes (2nd nomination)


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was Rename  The biographical content in the article is pretty trivial, and several of those !voting delete admit the incident is notable... as do those !voting keep! Moving the article to focus on the event rather than the person is also recommended per ONEEVENT, addressing the concerns of that set of !voters. Only the last !voter appears to have advanced a specific renaming argument, but I find it compelling and consistent with the expressed !votes. Jclemens (talk) 05:05, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

 Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:02, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. A sad matter, but the subject fails Athlete and WP:SINGLEEVENT. The fatal incident is also not notable, failing WP:NOTNEWS. WWGB (talk) 11:31, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep received newspaper coverage multiple times over a few years, in multiple papers in Australia. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 12:15, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep and possibly change the title and list at the scholarships or foundations category, or whatever the appropriate list is. If Rae and Edith Bennett Travelling Scholarship deserves a entry, this article does also. Tom Reedy (talk) 12:57, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. The coverage is obviously there so she is notable. But she is notable only for her death and thus fails our inclusion policy. I don't think anyone could argue that her figure skating career was notable. --Mkativerata (talk) 21:48, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom and Mkativerata. Textbook WP:ONEEVENT. Frickeg (talk) 12:30, 31 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Keep Not WP:ONEEVENT. She "won the 2006 Queensland Intermediate Ladies Championship", "was placed 7th at the 2006 Australian Championships in the novice ladies division", and "Innes was killed ... [in] the collision near the Sydney Harbour Bridge". She's no Mao Asada, but this doesn't fail ONEEVENT.  WackyWace  converse 16:25, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment. Her skating achievements are not notable per Athlete, so her death is WP:ONEEVENT. WWGB (talk) 01:12, 4 August 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom. Marginally notable as an athlete, and the circumstances of her death wouldn't appear to confer significance. JNW (talk) 01:18, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete, per nom, oneevent applies here. -- Nuujinn (talk) 01:49, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - per nom. Fails Notability_(sports) and Notability_(sports) as the subject only skated at the intermediate level. moreno oso (talk) 02:07, 11 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete, per the reasons set forth above. It would make more sense to have an article about the incident, something along the lines of Sydney Harbour fatal ferry crash. Information on Innes can be included there.-- Pink Bull  03:44, 11 August 2010 (UTC)
