Delete: only notable for an event that itself is probably not notable anyways (WP:BLP1E) MarkH21 (talk) 14:54, 7 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: He and his life were covered not only in Indiana news media, but also by USA Today, Washington Post, ESPN, NPR, and other national media. Indyguy (talk) 15:51, 7 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

How does that contradict WP:BLP1E? MarkH21 (talk) 17:10, 7 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

He was not involved in just a single game, so I don't think WP:BLP1E applies. Indyguy (talk) 17:21, 7 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It kinda does, actually. We naturally get worked up about a story like this (particularly if sports are involved) until it fades into the distance and another comes along to replace it. His story is tragic like scores before him, but ultimately not notable. sixtynine ^{• whaddya want? •} 06:00, 9 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:BLP1E. AD ^Talk 18:10, 7 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. His book does not satisfy WP:NAUTHOR, fundraising is unexceptional. WWGB (talk) 23:02, 7 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Clear case of WP:BLP1E. sixtynine ^{• whaddya want? •} 16:01, 8 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Wikipedia is not news. We do not create articles on people who will not outlast a news cycle.John Pack Lambert (talk) 01:53, 9 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Case of WP:BLP1E, nothing notable except his name should be included on the main Award articles (as it currently is). Sadsignal (talk) 10:48, 9 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep His life was covered not only in Indiana news media, but also by USA Today, Washington Post, ESPN, NPR, and other national media. He also notably authored a book that's received substantial attention. IndyNotes (talk) 16:33, 9 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Second "keep" vote was copypasted from the first. Editing original comment as neither user falls under WP:SPA. sixtynine ^{• whaddya want? •} 00:07, 10 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Really, you find it suspicious that an article listed for deletion on the list of Indiana-related deletion discussions has Keep comments by two editors whose user names both contain the word "Indy"? I assure you that IndyNotes and I are two different people who have not discussed this or any subject either on WP or in the real world. Indyguy (talk) 01:43, 10 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

And ~~obviously you~~ IndyNotes liked ~~his~~ your comment "covered not only in Indiana news media, but also by USA Today, Washington Post, ESPN, NPR, and other national media" so much that ~~you~~ he just copied it word for word ... WWGB (talk) 01:50, 10 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I copied nothing inasmuch as my comment was made two days earlier than IndyNotes's. Indyguy (talk) 03:16, 10 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as per BLP. Him being a superfan of a college football team doesn’t satisfy notability. Rusted AutoParts 16:58, 10 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete This is a case of WP:BIO1E rather than WP:BLP1E. As stated previosly, unnotable though tragic. Erasmussen (talk)
