[edit] Kevin Cosgrove

We established a long time ago that dying in a tragedy, even 9/11, was not enough to deserve a Wikipedia article. This article seems to offer nothing additional. DJ Clayworth 22:16, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

• Neutral Its funny that info on every pokemon ever concieved is on wikipedia along with articles for each decimal point advancement of MS DOS, but people who die in important events are non-notable. Just something to think about.--James Gordon 22:22, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

Sadly more people die in important events than there are Pokemons. DJ Clayworth 16:49, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

• Strong Keep Kevin didn't just die. Sadly he also left the only publicly available record of the final moment of collapse which has been very widely disseminated. I normally agree entirely about not being a memorial, but this has additional significance. Cf. Betty Ong. Eusebeus 22:23, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
• Weak Keep per Betty Ong. No less encyclopedic than other articles under Category:Victims of the September 11, 2001 attacks. Agent 86 22:31, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per Eusebeus. Not every victim warrants an article, but his last words were used in the trial of one of the terrorists. Has additional significance. - Mgm|^(talk) 09:32, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
