Very sad event but it isn't an encyclopedic subject. Had he been better known then my opinion would have been different but here.. circa 300 pertinent hits and article deleted from FR WP Bombastus 16:16, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

  • Comment His death is marked every year by French and German anti-nuclear activists. Does that make his death notable in itself? --Siva1979Talk to me 16:40, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, not notable. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 18:06, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep, according to a quick search, he seems to be the first anti-nuclear activist who loosed his live during an dry cask storage transport. I will investigate further. --Oxymoron83 18:12, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete I like a story with a funny ending as much as the next guy, but it's a news item. Wikipedia is not a memorial site. MarkBul 20:28, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete: Sorry he died, but notable only for bizarre death; insufficient notability for his own article. Watchingthevitalsigns 13:03, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

Comment Oops! yo are right. But he is still essentially just a news item. -- Whpq 21:50, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep for now. Let's wait until the French decide. JASpencer 11:30, 28 September 2007 (UTC) Edit. Here is the French debate.
