• Strong keep Redirect The captain of United Airlines Flight 93 non-notable? Are you kidding? ProhibitOnions 12:52, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
  • No, not particularly. How many of us could have named this guy yesterday? His name is mentioned in the UAF 93 article, and that's as much as is needful. Delete. RGTraynor 15:09, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
    • I'll settle for redirect to United Airlines Flight 93, but there are a lot more than 206 hits on his name; he has a school named after him [1], and like the other passengers was nominated for a Congressional Gold Medal. Several passengers have articles about them (Todd Beamer, Mark Bingham, Tom Burnett, Andrew Garcia, Jeremy Glick, and Richard Guadagno). However, there's also sep11:United Airlines flight 93, so in all I'd accept that that's enough detail. ProhibitOnions 15:39, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
• The fact of his position is already established at United Airlines Flight 93, and there's really nothing else to say about him. Thus, redirect there. (ESkog)^(Talk) 14:03, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete / redirect, unless anyone can add any facts about his life that would justify an additional article. Vizjim 14:53, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect per Eskong. --Siva1979^{Talk to me} 15:32, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, Wikipedia is not a memorial. If his sole accomplishment is dying in the September 11, 2001 attacks, then he doesn't deserve a Wikipedia article. JIP | Talk 15:39, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
• Reluctant Delete This is an article that should be in Wikipedia as it is of potential historical interest. However it does seem to fail the test for articles about deceased people: Has the person made a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in the specific field? I don't believe there is a point in re-directing it as people searching are likely to search first for United Airlines Flight 93 abd then for Jason Dahl.Captainj 22:09, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
