AfDs for this article: 
 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Subject appears to be notable only for being shot; WP:BLP1E (although as he's dead, I'm not sure if BLP applies, even though he was alive at the moment he got shot). There's also WP:NOTMEMORIAL and it seems a bit propaganda-ish ("Propaganda often presents facts selectively (thus lying by omission) to encourage a particular synthesis, or gives loaded messages in order to produce an emotional rather than rational response to the information presented") so WP:NOTADVERTISING, too. While it may be a tragedy, it's not notable enough for Wikipedia. Article has just come off an AfD, but the closing admin said he had no objection to an immediate re-opening, as long as each article was nommed individually. I should also add that I contributed to the article in the past. Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 07:11, 26 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete, per the well-argued nomination; subject isn't covered for anything other than being shot, and the shooting itself doesn't seem to have gotten the in-depth coverage that would be required for me to say it's a good idea to keep it just because of the complexity of the case.
