:The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was speedy delete. I do not see consensus for having even a redirect. But BLP does not apply.--as I would have thought glaringly obvious. DGG (talk) 21:26, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

:*This AfD nomination was incomplete (missing step 3). It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) 12:57, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

  • Redirect. People will search for his name, so we might as well be helpful. BrainyBabe (talk) 12:58, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
  • Redirect to FedEx Express Flight 80 as per WP:NOTMEMORIAL and WP:BLP1E. --DAJF (talk) 13:21, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
  • Delete or Redirect per above (1 event, news, etc) -M.Nelson (talk) 13:44, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
  • Redirect --TheDJ (talk • contribs) 13:47, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
  • The image that was included earlier in the article was uploaded by a sockpuppet of User:Gerald Gonzalez. It is now deleted from Commons. --TheDJ (talk • contribs) 14:30, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
  • Delete. DFS454 above sums it up best. ~ Quacks Like a Duck (talk) 13:56, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
  • Delete or redirect per DFS454/Lilac soul. While his relatives who apparently created the article have my sympathy, wikipedia is not the place for this. Try Facebook or some other social networking site. Nil Einne (talk) 14:06, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
  • Delete per DFS454. A redirect to the main article doesn't make any sense to me. Lexo (talk) 14:10, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
  • Delete: This is pretty blatant WP:POV. I understand someone cared for him enough to create a page for him, but it has got to go. Some of the info. can be moved to FedEx Express Flight 80 if that page stays. Rms125a@hotmail.com (talk) 14:31, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
  • Redirect to FedEx Express Flight 80 Spikydan1 (talk) 14:41, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
  • Redirect to FedEx Express Flight 80, or delete is also fine with me. - Mailer Diablo 14:42, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
  • Redirect or delete per above comment. --Resplendent (talk) 15:16, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
  • Redirect or delete. Leaning towards "delete" since this will likely become a completely unused redirect in a very short time. A serach of the name would automatically bring up the main article anyway. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 15:23, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
  • Redirect as discussed. My prayers are with his family. Zerbey (talk) 15:45, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
  • Redirect but not delete. Redirects are cheap and this is a plausible search term at the moment.—S Marshall Talk/Cont 15:47, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
  • The strong consensus appears to be to redirect to FedEx Express Flight 80 per policy and precedent. Bearian (talk) 16:02, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
  • Redirect to FedEx Express Flight 80 as the subject doesn't appear to be notable apart from the crash. A redirect is appropriate as this pilot's name is a plausible search term. — LinguistAtLarge • Talk  16:08, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
  • Comment I don't think people who didn't know him would search for his name as he wasn't sufficiently well known. So a redirect is missing the point here. --DFS454 (talk) 16:23, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
  • Comment My rationale for a redirect is that if people run across his name (likely in news reports about the crash, or in the future in material related to FedEx and safety), then they very well may search for his name to see more about him. In that case, a redirect to the article about the crash is appropriate and helpful, since it will have a mention of him as pilot. — LinguistAtLarge • Talk  17:37, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
  • Delete per above by DFS454. Farmercarlos (talk) 16:40, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
  • Strongest possible delete per DFS454. I think there should be a modicum of common sense (and a precedent for CSD) involved with new articles when all we know about a person is how they died. This is becoming a real issue on WP - somebody dies, and somebody else needs to make their "clainm to fame" by being the one who got them on Wikipedia instead of utilizing some brains to write a useful article.

  • Speedy delete per Nom / notability. BIO1E. Kittybrewster ☎ 16:59, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
  • Merge and redirect into FedEx Express Flight 80. GiantSnowman 18:12, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
  • Delete per WP:BLP1E. No qualms with a redirect to the article on the crash after deletion. youngamerican (wtf?) 18:14, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

:Redirect this is a current event. Redo the AfD in six or nine months and there'll probably not be a single redirect or objection to delete. But now, somebody is interested. Besides, the article has no info other than he died 66.255.29.70 (talk) 17:36, 23 March 2009 (UTC) (Note: I have moved this comment from the top of the page. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 18:59, 23 March 2009 (UTC))
