[edit] Kenneth Pinyan

Kenneth Pinyan (discussion|history|protect|delete|undelete|logs|links)

Wacky means of death, but thoroughly non-notable. Delete. --Nlu (talk) 18:03, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep, he's quite notable. His death was well-publicized, even outside of Washington state, and later lead to the passing of bestiality statues in Washington. hateless 18:15, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep, so many people know this guy - even if they don't know his name they know how he died. Further, his death resulted in the most read article in the Seattle Times ever and was reason for a change of the law. BabyNuke 18:44, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep Its reached the UK as well. scope_creep 18:50, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep Without the wikipedia entry people might end up finding and looking at the video. I'd rather have people look at the wikipedia entry than do that. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Clevershark (talk • contribs)
  • Keep per BabyNuke. Zetawoof(ζ) 20:14, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. This was a widely covered event who's investigation spanned several months, not only that, but this individual was well-known in the ahem...'circles' he spent time with. His is a 'known name.' It ought to be kept. The.soror 22:49, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep Notable death, as above. Robovski 01:28, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep, notable incident. Everyking 11:00, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. Agreed. I think Kenneth Pinyan is an increasingly known person. For example, the incident has spread to be quite known in Norway as well. —Preceding unsigned comment added by jjylf (talk • contribs) 10 November 2006
  • Keep. This is certainly a notable death. --Zantolak 09:11, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong Keep. Non-notable what? He's one big, throbbing internet phenomenon. Nominator should be ashamed to have put this article for deleton with such ridiculos excuses. He's the man against the mighty forces of nature. Unfortunately he failed to manage them, but he's still my personal hero and he's still admired by many for his strength and courage. -- Femmina 20:14, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong Keep. How can an incident which caused new laws to be passed possibly be considered non-notable? Just because it involves the internet and beastiality doesn't make it non-notable. Chris Buckey 16:08, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
