There does not appear to be enough substance here to support a biographical article. He made the news only within the last few days because of his killing. However, there has been been no biographical coverage of this individual prior to this single event, and he was even described as a "little-known 47-year-old journalist who specialized in writing about economics" in one of the recent news articles about his death. Wikipedia:Notability says "it takes more than just a short burst of news reports about a single event or topic to constitute sufficient evidence of notability."

Delete per nominator's detailed rationale; the description of him as "little-known" is crucial. Nyttend (talk) 15:31, 31 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The killing may be notable enough for an article, maybe not, but I don't think the victim needs an article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Starbox (talk • contribs) 23:02, 1 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
