The result was   delete. There is a rough consensus to delete. The redirect !votes made a reasonable argument, but I think that it was refuted sufficiently to justify this result. Xymmax So let it be written   So let it be done  15:09, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

This individual seems to fail WP:ONEEVENT and does not seem to otherwise satisfy WP:GNG or WP:MILPEOPLE. This seems similar to several other recent AfDs (here, here, and here) of people failing ONEEVENT for the same event. Novaseminary (talk) 22:41, 12 April 2010 (UTC)

I am also nominating the following related page for the same reason:

Novaseminary (talk) 16:56, 13 April 2010 (UTC) I just came across another article that I think should be deleted for the same reason as the two above, so I am also nominating the following:

 * Delete: per the nomination and per the precedent cited, I don't feel these two articles satisfy WP:MILPEOPLE or WP:GNG. — AustralianRupert (talk) 13:36, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

 * Merge all into Battle of Mogadishu (1993) and redirect. Per nome, they don't have sufficient notability outside of the ONEEVENT to warrant an article, but they have recieved enough independant coverage to warrant more than just a passing mention in the article on the battle.  bahamut0013  words deeds 16:39, 15 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Delete -- no notability demonstrated beyond the OneEvent. N2e (talk) 02:45, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Merge all into Battle of Mogadishu (1993) and redirect. Alcarillo (talk) 16:18, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment I understand the desire to merge and redirect these three articles instead of deleting them. There were hundreds (if not thousands) of participants in this battle, though. It would be haphazard at best to redirect some the players in this battle and impossible to name and redirect all of them. And dozens (if not hundreds) of participants received coverage in the books written about the event. If a given person's participation was significant enough to cause them to be mentioned by name in the article, searches will bring up the article without the redirects. If they are not, then I don't see why a redirect would be useful or where we would draw the line. Novaseminary (talk) 23:34, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
