Classic WP:BLP1E, the event is already covered in 2006 transatlantic aircraft plot. IQinn (talk) 06:18, 7 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:BLP1E. It may be at some later time Rauf is connected to other events or establishes some further notability but Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. No prejudice against recreation if further facts emerge - DustFormsWords (talk) 10:12, 7 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Merge & Redirect Information about Tayib Rauf is not currently in 2006 transatlantic aircraft plot as far as I can see. The information currently available doesn't make him notable enough for his own article. ~~ GB fan ~~ ^talk 14:08, 7 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - My understanding is that at present there's no consensus that Merge is an acceptable outcome for an AfD result - many admins feel that process can only happen through discussions at a talk page and will interpret Merge as a vote for Keep. So I'd support a Merge, but in the likelihood of that being unavailable the next policy-supported option is Delete, not Keep. - DustFormsWords (talk) 23:14, 7 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. "Merge" is a perfectly acceptable outcome for an AfD, but it is not the closing admin's job to actually merge the content, as any editor can perform a merge without needing access to admin tools. What that means in practice is that the closing admin puts an {{Afd-mergeto}} template on the article and {{Afd-mergefrom}} on the target article, after which it the responsibilty of anyone who wants a merge to carry it out.

Delete. A person can't be notable for not being notable. That's just absurd. Qworty (talk) 04:48, 9 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
