Articles for deletion/List of people who died on the appalachian trail

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

Per WP:LISTN, topic has not been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources. This list will be too broad. Just look at results of a google search of recent cases [1], [2], [3], [4]. These are just ones in the past few years. Think about how long this will get if you start going back decades. Given that there's over a million hikers on the trail annually [5], lots of people die of all sorts of causes. CutOffTies (talk) 23:34, 25 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment @Esf13: has made several pages like this in the past week. Perhaps some coaching would be better than multiple AfDs for new pages? Power~enwiki (talk) 00:04, 26 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, just a collection of news reports and self published sources about people who don't come even close to passing WP:BLP. Can't possible be encyclopedic. Ajf773 (talk) 05:11, 26 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
