Upon reflection, Joseph2302, wouldn't WP:BLP1E apply to this article? Best, Mifter (talk) 07:54, 19 December 2018 (UTC)

The event is notable for sure, and he received significant coverage. I've started a move discussion to refactor it to be about the event. Joseph2302 (talk) 09:09, 19 December 2018 (UTC)

Article has been moved, I've updated the links in the hooks. Joseph2302 (talk) 21:37, 26 December 2018 (UTC)
