Delete I hadn't refreshed and was adding an AfD tag myself. Although no one's death is truly minor, this was a minor event that happened to a not-notable person and had very limited news coverage. I'll add that this might be very painful to relatives and friends - we don't need this article and we should get rid of it as soon as possible. Dougweller (talk) 09:55, 7 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. I agree that there's no basis for a bio article here. His death did receive significant press coverage, and it is discussed at Tilikum (orca)#Second incident. It's possible that a few bits of the content here, and the additional sources, could be used to amplify the discussion there. --Arxiloxos (talk) 16:22, 7 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Delete Well, it isn't actually a BLP1E since the subject has been dead since 1999. An analogous principle applies, though, amd we shouldn't keep an article about an otherwise non-notable person who received press attention only because of the unusual nature of his death. As Arxiloxos notes, the death is covered in the article about the notable orca. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 01:03, 14 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
