This article's subject has not been shown to have notability per WP:NBIO. Countless people have died in accidents at sports games, such as Shannon Stone in 2011. I follow baseball closely and I'd never heard of this incident until today. Songwaters (talk) 01:06, 1 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to List of unusual deaths#2010s per 1E, has generated coverage for GNG but that does not matter unless it was significant enough to be a major news item all over the world (e.g. Elaine Herzberg). It should at the very least be renamed to Death of Linda Goldbloom. J 947 ^{^{^(c)}}, at 01:35, 1 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Doesn’t pass GNG. While the subject’s death was unfortunate, the subject hasn’t been the focus of in-depth coverage. For Wiki purposes, this isn’t much different than the victim of a car accident or house fire. - Bbny-wiki-editor (talk) 17:12, 1 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. This case has significance for the MLB, and the way in which it uses netting and safety. The case had historical significance, as no such case had happened in many decades. However, I do understand changing the article title to "Death of Linda Goldbloom" and would support this. Linda Goldbloom is very frequently searched online, as the case is very active and relevant. The page itself would be more viewed were it displaying on Google in the same way. I believe this page has great relevance, and will submit more arguments to defend it if need be. — Preceding unsigned comment added by PickleG13 (talk • contribs) 21:51, 2 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Dozens of cases have been documented of fatal accidents at MLB games. In the example I provided, in 2011, Shannon Stone died in a fall at Globe Like Park in Arlington while trying to catch a ball thrown to him by Rangers outfielder Josh Hamilton. In response, the Rangers put a tarp over the area where he fell, then dedicated a statue to his memory. How is this any more significant? Songwaters (talk) 01:54, 3 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
