Dewitt Finley

Non-notable / Wikipedia is not a memorial -- a sad story, to be sure, but not every untimely death is worthy of inclusion. Pop Secret 00:45, 15 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Undecided. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Hotentot (talk • contribs) 00:49, 15 December 2006 (UTC).[reply]
Weak delete. Despite references, seems non-notable. Touching story though. "Weak Undecided"? What the heck does that mean? And how is it useful? —EdGl 01:00, 15 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per EdGl--M8v2 01:20, 15 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
~~Weak keep~~ Redirect/merge to Bear Camp Road. ~~Article is not a memorial, but is instead a short bit of historical perspective, with some literary merit. Worth keeping as a stub.~~Yaf 02:49, 15 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Suggest that article be merged into Bear Camp Road article. Yaf 05:04, 15 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I could co-sign a redirect. Pop Secret 09:25, 15 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Definitely sad... but otherwise non-notable. Wikipedia is not a news site or a memorial site. jaydj 03:19, 15 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete The story is sad, but nonetheless, Wikipedia is not a memorial site. The RSJ 03:23, 15 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete biography of a non-notable person. I feel no sympathy for him whatsoever, but that's another story. Danny Lilithborne 03:55, 15 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Non-notable person. Wikipedia is not a memorial site. Edison 16:09, 15 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Wikipedia is neither an obituary or a memorial site, and the details of this tragedy are already covered in Bear Camp Road. I'm alright with a redirect.-- danntm ^T _C 17:34, 15 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Merge and delete Possibly wikinews if current. Seems like an old story. Merge into Bear Camp Road. TonyTheTiger 19:39, 15 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Bear Camp Road. Moncrief 22:42, 15 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Merge into Bear Camp Road. Its notable material in the debate whether to stay with trapped vehicle or try to walk to a town. --MarsRover 22:16, 16 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Merge The attention drawn by the plight of the Kim family on the same road makes it relevant. Pjbflynn 00:45, 18 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Merge or redirect With Bear Damp Road. Not notable in of itself, but details of the incident in the other article would be worthwhile. R.E. Freak 23:10, 18 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. WMMartin 19:37, 20 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
