Fails WP:GNG and WP:BIO. There are no unique circumstances that would make her death of lasting significance. Clarityfiend (talk) 19:06, 2 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep meets WP:GNG with RS. WP:NTEMP the article merits inclusion here. Wm335td (talk) 20:12, 2 November 2019 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete. The very few references here are not reliable or notability-making sources about the Wyman incident: one is a brief glancing mention of Wyman in the footnotes to a non-notable person's self-published personal statement about a different incident, and the other is a short blurb about Wyman in a wolf education organization's proprietary database of information on wolves — and the "external link" is just a repetition of one of the two footnoted references, not a new data point. These are not the kind of sources we're looking for to make this notable: we need sustained news coverage in real daily newspapers, indicating a reason why this would pass the ten year test for enduring significance, but this has no such thing.

 * Merge, redirect, and hard protect to List of wolf attacks per last AfD, WP:OUTCOMES, and WP:SNOW. Short of a dingo attack that kills four people, such articles have been merged very consistently. Bearian (talk) 14:20, 7 November 2019 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, North America1000 11:27, 9 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Redirect to List of wolf attacks and protect, per Bearian. Current sourcing doesn't meet the general notability guideline and a cursory Google Books/News search didn't find any great leads. I would suggest deletion but Wyman is already listed in the list. If that list had stricter inclusion criteria, deletion would make more sense but for now, redirection is a suitable alternative. czar  16:26, 16 November 2019 (UTC)
