The result was delete. A lot of arguments to avoid in this discussion on both sides. Ultimately, there was nothing to suggest the scale of this event was so historically significant that this individuals role in it warranted a stand alone article. BLP1E specifically addresses this and no major arguments were made against why that policy does not stand in this case. Further this person has not been the direct subject of major publications other than those covering the event. Mkdwtalk 02:53, 22 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

PROD declined. Subject fails WP:BLP1E. IF the mentioned coverage and documentaries actually come to pass, he MIGHT become notable at a future time. But at this time he clearly fails "one event." Safiel (talk) 23:03, 4 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- An unconvincing threat from the IP editor. WP:CRYSTAL is no reason to keep an article on a minor "celebrity". WWGB (talk) 00:37, 5 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Such condescending. Marcus Qwertyus (talk) 08:03, 5 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment A general article about the shipwreck/event might be warranted, but BLP1E pretty much excludes an article on the subject. Safiel (talk) 17:31, 5 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete or redirect to List of shipwrecks in 2013#26 May, a low-profile person, per WP:BLP1E (applies If reliable sources cover the person only in the context of a single event.) . Alex discussion ★ 02:12, 6 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - There is perhaps a case to be made that the event is notable. The individual pretty clearly is not. Carrite (talk) 05:14, 6 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - widespread coverage of the rescue as of 12/9. It matters little whether the "event" (of the shipwreck + rescue) or the individual is notable: in either case it is deserving of an article under notability standards, and the name of the lone rescued survivor is probably the most natural article title. Robert K S (talk) 05:41, 9 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Clearly notable based on widespread media attention. Everyking (talk) 01:57, 11 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
