The article covers the person based one event, against WP:BLP and WP:BIO. Anything useful from the article can be added to Eastern Air Lines Flight 401, but that article saw fit not to mention him, and at best all that is needed is a mention, which doesn't reach the level of requiring a merge.

 * Merge and redirect. That article should mention him. Redirects are cheap, and the survivors certainly make much of his role. --Dhartung | Talk 18:14, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Article should mention him and more than just his name. I agree with above, merge and redirect. --Gnosbush (talk) 18:23, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect. Agreeing with Dhartung, after the 35th year anniversary of the crash Mr. Marquie (now 78 years old) is getting a lot of notability but I think an encyclopedic summary of his role would fit better in the context of the event. That would change in the future say if some of the awards he has received were then also given to other notables and he needed to be referenced further. But until then I still see his notability and therefore his encyclopedic relevance as specific to this event. - Owlmonkey (talk) 20:14, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect. The recent news coverage of this man is the reason I looked up the crash article in the first place. His role should be expounded upon in the article, but since he is notable only for one event, barring further information he shouldn't have his own article as of yet. &mdash;Elipongo (Talk contribs) 22:32, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect, then. It looks like it's close to snowing, if someone feels like closing this and redirecting it; on the other hand, there's a case that a redirect is too dramatic to do with only six hours discussion on the day after Christmas.--Prosfilaes (talk) 23:09, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
 * This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) 14:15, 28 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Snow. I'm going to be bold and merge/redirect, since there is a copyvio problem. Clarityfiend (talk) 17:31, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment. A redirect doesn't seem to work w/ the Afd text there, but I'm hesitant to delete that. Clarityfiend (talk) 17:35, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
