[edit] Mary Jo Kopechne

This woman seems to be notable only for dying in the Chappaquiddick incident; per WP:BLP1E she should be covered in that article (even though she's no longer a living person, the politician who was involved in the incident is). A redirect to Chappaquiddick incident was reverted, however. Moreover, the article seems to be used largely as a WP:POVFORK of Chappaquiddick incident; see this discussion.  Sandstein  17:32, 22 May 2008 (UTC) — Withdrawn. I seem to have mistaken AfD for cleanup here, sorry.  Sandstein  19:31, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Keep: Google hits 109000. Google news hits 714. Subject is far more notable than like Henri Paul. If necessary, I will dig hundreds of articles which are far less notable. If separate articles exist for TV serial fictional characters, why this subject is tagged as non-notable? Wikipedia is encyclopedia of information on any subject. Thanks.

  • Keep, meets WP:BIO. She is the subject of uncountable, reliable sources. The article seems also well referenced at this point. Being notable for just one thing is utterly uninteresting as long as this results in the amount of coverage she obviously has. Arsenikk (talk)
  • Keep. It wouldn't hurt to wipe the slate clean and start over from an editorial standpoint, providing inline sources, but actual deletion shouldn't be necessary. coccyx bloccyx(toccyx) 18:32, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep. Wow. I'm waiting for WP:ONEEVENT to be used as a tool to delete Lee Harvey Oswald. This is a close second though. Dekkappai (talk) 18:44, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep I can't imagine the timing of this AfD was a mere coincidence! :) Ecoleetage (talk) 19:12, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep but replace information about the incident with a summary and link to the Chappaquiddick incident article as is done with Sen. Kennedy. DCEdwards1966 19:30, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep - I think that the snow is melting on this one pretty fast! --Pmedema (talk) 19:38, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
