The result was delete. With all respect to Mr. Knapp's accomplishments, the arguments that this is a case of WP:BLP1E are convincing, and have not been substantively rebutted. Several people advocate retention on the basis of WP:IAR, but that too is a weak argument in light of that policy's wording, which is: "If a rule prevents you from improving or maintaining Wikipedia, ignore it." It is not apparent to me (and the people making this argument would have had to show) how exactly the rule that we don't cover people known only for one event would in this instance prevent us from improving or maintaining Wikipedia. A clear rationale for why IAR should apply would have been necessary particularly because the policy whose derogation is being advocated, BLP1E, is part of one of Wikipedia's core policies, WP:BLP. The article has been userfied as requested. Sandstein 11:10, 3 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
With all respect to Justin Knapp, who is an excellent Wikipedian, I believe that this is a pretty clear case of WP:BLP1E. Mark Arsten (talk) 16:59, 6 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
That said, you can't just simply ignore the staggering coverage, can you? Cheers, Bonkers The Clown (Nonsensical Babble) 14:12, 7 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
