[edit] Andrew Veal

Andrew Veal non-notable person with almost no biographical information. This was a news item that doesn't belong in Wikipedia. --Tbeatty 03:25, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

• Delete as nominator --Tbeatty 03:43, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete appears to have no notability.--MONGO 04:24, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy Delete He comitted suicide at a famous cite and some newspapers picked that up. Happens every day. Nothing else about this guy is notable. --Jayron32 05:50, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, the event might be notable but the person isn't. Deizio talk 09:49, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Perhaps merge somehwere in Bush-related articles. The JPS^{talk to me} 09:49, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete So this guy was upset about the election results. Are we going to have an article on every basket case that does something like this? Because he didn’t like Bush and the Iraq war, his suicide makes him notable? JungleCat talk/contrib 12:31, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Unless people can find a way to assert his notability more fully in the scope of things; but not a speedy. · XP · 16:11, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, subject does not meet WP:BIO.--Isotope23 18:02, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. Why is Wikipedia a dumping ground for these sorts of trivial facts (not that his life was trivial, but the story is). Morton devonshire 00:03, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Wikipedia is not a dumping ground for articles on people who commit suicide, or protesters for that matter. As per nom and Isotope23, this article fails [[WP:BIO] and certaintly lacks notability. --NuclearZer0 12:37, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Notable to me (1st hand knowledge of most aspects), certainly not to Wikipedia. It would be easy to flesh out bio and more fully summerize news articles and conservative-leaning blogs that commented on this event, but this would still not meet standards. Only notability is proximity to election/Ground Zero and as a study of heavy, politicized national attention that lasts 1 or 2 days on the news. Many events are connected to the 2004 election and Ground Zero, and many events receive brief, exploitive national attention. This is not a notable person nor a notable event.12.216.24.192 23:33, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
