This was deleted via proposed deletion last year and restored after being contested here. The PROD rationale still applies - "I'm not seeing notability here. His death and book received some local coverage but I don't see why an encyclopedia article might be justified. No non-local coverage found.", and the article hasn't been edited since it was restored. I don't understand the reasoning in the request for undeletion, particularly the claim that "many of the PROD author's edits at the time of the PROD were not considered correct or acceptable". Is being a test pilot (and, unfortunately, dying) enough to merit an encyclopedia article? Michig (talk) 19:42, 23 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. His death is WP:BLP1E--one event, albeit the final one. As an author he fails WP:BK and WP:AUTHOR. Qworty (talk) 21:33, 23 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- WP:BIO1E is the better link, as "LP" isn't applicable. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 01:19, 24 February 2013 (UTC)}}[reply]

Delete. Somehow, he doesn't seem notable, and Wikipedia is not a memorial. The only reference leads to a 504 Error, further casting doubt on the notability.^King Jakob _C2 22:50, 23 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The others have spelled it out nicely; dying in a testing crash of a single-engine prop plane does not confer notability. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 01:19, 24 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
