I don't usually nominate articles so early in their development but I feel this subject's notability may hinge entirely on one event. Marcus  Qwertyus   22:54, 2 May 2011 (UTC)  Marcus   Qwertyus   22:54, 2 May 2011 (UTC)

 * Note: It has not been deleted yet, there are just two separate nominations running at the same time, and could probably be closed per WP:SNOW. MrKIA11 (talk) 23:19, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Death of Osama bin Laden. It is a likely search term, so it makes sense to redirect to the article for which he is known. --Russavia I'm chanting as we speak 23:22, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Good point. Changing my recommendation to Redirect. - Drlight11 - 72.192.216.20 (talk) 23:25, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
 * KEEP until one can see just how extensive the subject's reputation is becoming. In the meantime, someone needs to shut down one of the deletion templates. We don't need two of them. Are we supposed to vote twice? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Richard David Ramsey (talk • contribs) 23:27, 2 May 2011


 * Delete as a textbook example of how and when WP:BLP1E should be applied.  coccyx bloccyx  (toccyx)  00:02, 3 May 2011 (UTC)
