A classic example of an article built around WP:BLP1E. The subject is only notable for an event at age five; there's nothing before or after that event. (In full disclosure, I created this article as a wee baby WP editor. I do not believe this article is eligible for WP:G7, however, because of the many other editors who have added to it.)

Keep - I think the relevant bit here is in WP:BIO1E in the section on dealing with biographies of individuals who play a major role in a minor event. Which I believe we'd agree was the case here. This minor event derives its entire notability from the primary individual, not the actual event. As such: "In some cases, however, a person famous for only one event may be more widely known than the event itself, for example, the Tank Man. In such cases, the article about the event may be most appropriately named for the person involved. I feel a Keep is therefore warranted. Nosebagbear (talk) 21:25, 12 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The kid is barely 11. This is definitely a Too Soon. Not much coverage from reliable sources. Trillfendi (talk) 15:06, 26 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Trillfendi: - I don't think WP:TOOSOON can apply here - assuming we're talking about the biographical section, the various components are met. The sources in-article cover the individual in a sufficient level of information in some reliable sources including CNN, NYT, SMH and some others, so WP:RELIABLE seems covered. I can understand how a BLP1E case can be made, so that's what I countered in my !vote, but a pure notability argument doesn't hold up. Nosebagbear (talk) 15:18, 26 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

One aspect of your comment I didn't cover - the fact he's 11 is irrelevant - he might get more notable coverage when older (or not), but he reached the required level already. Nosebagbear (talk)

Keep I agree with Nosebagbear, subject clearly meets WP:BIO1E, the subject of the article IS the reason there was an event, and there's adequate coverage. Schazjmd (talk) 23:13, 31 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
