No evidence of Wp:SUSTAINED coverage currently (also see WP:NOTNEWS) and can be recreated in the future if this turns out to have significant impacts. Clearly fulls under the purview of WP:BDP ("Such extensions would apply particularly to contentious or questionable material about the subject that has implications for their living relatives and friends, such as in the case of a possible suicide or particularly gruesome crime") and thus we should presume in favor of privacy.

- Delete. Same arguments as nom: WP:SUSTAINED, WP:NOTNEWS, and WP:BDP. There is no encyclopedic value in documenting this tragic situation. I saw mentions of the family pursuing a law, and perhaps someday a law will pass and be notable and in that context, a brief mention of the suicide that led to the law would be appropriate. He only died less than three weeks ago; if there is continuing coverage six months or a year from now, an article could be reconsidered. (I came across this article and its deletion nomination via WP:BLPN#Suicide of Sammy Teusch.) Schazjmd (talk) 18:54, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

- Delete per NOTNEWS. If this is truly a historically-important event rather than a tragic blip on the radar, there will be plenty of time to build a proper, sourced article then, rather than relying upon ONEEVENT coverage of dubious caliber. Carrite (talk) 19:21, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
