Gavrilo Princip

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

See WP:BLP1E. This guy is basically only notable for assassinating Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria -- the rest of the coverage is basically just window-dressing for basically one event. Essentially an attack article. Subject is not independently notable. Perhaps merge into Assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria? elle _{vécut heureuse} ^{à jamais} (be free) 22:04, 10 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Last time I checked Gavrilo Princip is not a living person and hence not covered by Biography of Living Persons policy...For that reason alone this AfD doesn't look like it's going to get anywhere.

In fact, the wrongly quoted policy also links to this, Wikipedia:Notability (people)#People notable for only one event

"If the event is highly significant, and the individual's role within it is a large one, a separate article is generally appropriate. The assassins of major political leaders, such as Gavrilo Princip, fit into this category, as indicated by the large coverage of the event in reliable sources that devotes significant attention to the individual's role."

Case closed. ChiZeroOne (talk) 22:22, 10 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hardly. The large coverage by reliable sources of Anthony Bologna devotes significant attention to the individual's role but that is under question in its own afd. Furthermore, the content of this piece really should be merged into the Assassination article anyway. This piece is essentially an attack article sourced by the media of his time. elle _{vécut heureuse} ^{à jamais} (be free) 22:28, 10 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: as one of the most absurd proposals ever to come to AFD. He's not living. He's a historical figure. GMAFB. The guy's actions led to WWI. Toddst1 (talk) 22:34, 10 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The comparison to the copy who sprayed protesters in New York is inane. This man touched off World War I! And yes, that's right, he's dead. If he was alive, given how old he would be, that would certainly make him worthy of an article. ScottyBerg (talk) 22:36, 10 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep ONEEVENT doesnt apply in such major cases as this, and your proposal is ridiculous- Paticulary since this is a highly sourced , historical and controversial article it could even be treated as vandalism. Besides Chizero pretty much sums it up - it even mentions Princip's NAME in the rules! Goldblooded^{Return Fire} 22:41, 10 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
