[edit] De'Andre Adams
I've argued for notability of deceased college athletes in cases where the player has significant national coverage, but I'm afraid even I think this person doesn't qualify. With apologies and sadness for all concerned, WP:NOT a memorial, and I believe this person fails WP:BIO. Delete, pending other opinions. Xoloz 16:28, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
- Delete, agree with Xoloz, obviously sad for this young man's family but wikipedia is not a memorial.--Bigtimepeace | talk | contribs 18:54, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
- Delete. If two points a game for a minor college program is notable, then what is the point of having 'league leaders'?R Young {yakłtalk} 19:42, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
- Delete. Tragically, not all deaths are notable, and per nom, this kid doesn't make the bar. Wikipedia is not a memorial.--Dhartung | Talk 05:14, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
- Delete as well, albeint very begrudgingly. Knowing him and having the personal connection it makes me harder to say it, but I've got to agree with most of what has been said. If the article can come up with more to the page than a list of accomplishments at Winthrop and a description of death then maybe it can stay, but unless that happens I don't see it being here for very long.
