Individual did not have any notability until she died. Per WP:VICTIM and WP:BIO1E, she fails notability for having her own article. Donaldd23 (talk) 15:19, 22 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Even if the nominator is right, article should be kept as GNG is met. A good example: CBS aired a news item in the news, not about the accident but about her including education, career and family. See here. SportsOlympic (talk) 07:14, 23 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment As my "Keep" reasoning is not clear to other users I add this comment. I agree she wasn't notable enough before her death, and also not due to the coverage of the accident. But, as in the days after her death news sources started publisheing about her as a person, she meets GNG. CBS News had a full biography. Not as a video somewhere on the website, but a as a main national news items on television of over 3 minutes. SportsOlympic (talk) 14:03, 24 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Nah, your reasoning is super clear – and we disagree with it. We'd also appreciate it if you stop badgering everyone who votes delete. —Bloom6132 (talk) 05:16, 25 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Further to @Bloom6132:'s comment, CBS was her employer. That's not a secondary source. StarM 00:19, 30 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete – agree with nominator. Did a Google search and failed to find a single article about her before she died. Quite clear that coverage on her didn't begin until after her death. —Bloom6132 (talk) 00:46, 24 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Wipipedia is not about notability but about coverage. SportsOlympic (talk) 07:40, 24 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

And that coverage didn't begin until after her death. Your point? —Bloom6132 (talk) 09:06, 24 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

So? There is no guideline stating a person should have had coverage while the person was living. George Floyd didn't have coverage before his death. SportsOlympic (talk) 09:55, 24 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Are you seriously trying to compare George Floyd with Nina Kapur?? Oh dear. I had no idea that Kapur's death has led to a worldwide push for greater moped safety and helmet use. —Bloom6132 (talk) 10:14, 24 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yes that’s exactly what I’m doing, to make it very clear that it’s no reason to say a person should have had coverage before death. Before his death George Floyd was 1) not notable 2) had no coverage. And yes, of course the importance of the two is different as could be indicated on the talk page. SportsOlympic (talk) 10:19, 24 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete – the matter of Floyd's fame or otherwise is not relevant to this discussion (see WP:STUFF) Deb (talk) 13:15, 24 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not using Floyd's article as a reason to keep this article. I refer to that article that the reasoning was not correct. SportsOlympic (talk) 13:36, 24 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Of course there are hundreds if not thousands of people who get articles who had no coverage before their death. They tend to be people like Anne Frank. A reporter dying in an acident and getting passing coverage does not rise to the level that justifies having an article. For the record though, I would argue we should not have an article on Mr. Floyd, only on his death, since that and not him per se is what is notable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:43, 29 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete neither a notable life nor death. Sadly just a run of the mill traffic accident, and no she's not comparable to George Floyd. StarM 19:07, 29 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Because her death is going to change the laws on ride sharing business model in the New York City. -Hatchens (talk) 06:15, 30 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Do you have citations to support that, or is that your personal opinion? But, since nothing has changed yet, it is irrelevant. Donaldd23 (talk) 12:06, 30 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  Donaldd23, I have been watching the local media coverage (on NY1 and CBS2) and also listening to Governor Cuomo's statements. Yes, this might lead to some changes. But, yes as of now, it can be counted as mere speculation. Hatchens (talk) 12:47, 30 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  - Hatchens, you do realize you just used the words "local media" to support keeping this page. Donaldd23 (talk) 15:13, 30 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    Donaldd23, Yes, I did. - Hatchens (talk) 15:23, 30 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Fails WP:BIO1E and WP:MEMORIAL. Passing memorial coverage from media about a dead journalist is not notable. While tragic, it was just a routine traffic accident and her death, like nearly all of the 160,000 people who die every day on Earth, isn't notable.
