  • (I was just about to save so here is my reasoning for the nom). From WP:NOT#MEMORIAL, wikipedia is not a place to honor the departed. Though his sacrifice is noble and he may be a hero for what he did, I don't believe there is anything in the article that makes him anymore notable than many of the others who died on September 11. Though it says he was an outstanding young athlete there is no proof or reference given in the article. I think that someone made this page as a memorial (it was started on September 11, 2006), and though admirable, is against policy and should be deleted. Phydend 03:26, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete there are a fair number of websites honoring his death... but none assert that he died any more notably than anybody else who died that day.Balloonman 03:47, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete It is fine for him to be included in a list of fire fighters who died in those circumstances. But, there seems no reason to have a separate page for each one.Anarchia 05:48, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete as above, Wikipedia is not a memorial and fails WP:BIO. Nuttah68 06:42, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete as sad as the story is, delete, per WP:NOT#NEWS and WP:NOT#MEMORIAL Corpx 06:51, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
