This is a person who is known for a single, not very important event and as such, probably doesn't merit a stand-alone article. Perhaps a single line of text in another article, but this article in now way meets the minimum standards of WP:BIO and WP:BLP. Jayron32 17:49, 19 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I am the creator of the article, I am a Kiribati Islander and I created the article in order to make people know about Kiribati and may make them research on us. But if it fails to meet any Wikipedia policy, you delete it, I accept it. Long Live Kiribati! Timothyhere (talk) 18:01, 19 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete While well intentioned, this article is very much a single, not very important event. Half of the article is about unrelated maritime rescues of castaways. The story does appear to have caught some media attention, but it is all: only in the context of a single event; the person remains, and is likely to remain, a low-profile individual; and the event is not significant and the individual's role within it is not substantial and well-documented.

Delete: while I sympathise with the intention, that is not sufficient grounds for creating an article. We should not lower the notability bar out of sympathy for small nations. Kevin McE (talk) 06:22, 21 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I agree with the statements above. It's a 'curious' event but in no means or measure notable. doktorb _words^deeds 06:39, 21 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
