Fails WP:BLP1E, person's tragic death nevertheless only received coverage for a very short period of time, and he has received no coverage for any other reason. Devonian Wombat ( talk) 21:54, 10 November 2021 (UTC) reply

• Comment. The article's talk page contains claims that there is still some interest in the death and apparently contradictory information about it. Eastmain ( talk • contribs) 22:19, 10 November 2021 (UTC) reply
• Comment The President expressed condolences. One of his biggest supporters spread conspiracy theories about the death. This doesn't seem like your routine obituaries. The right approach might be to move it to "Death of Harrison Deal" and see if that story meets notability guidelines. -- Bob drobbs ( talk) 20:16, 11 November 2021 (UTC) reply
• Delete Fails WP:ANYBIO. Not a notable political advisor, and death coverage does not confer notability. KidAd • SPEAK 19:37, 16 November 2021 (UTC) reply
• Comment. How exactly can an article about a dead person fail WP:BLP1E? -- Necrothesp ( talk) 14:24, 17 November 2021 (UTC) reply

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

• Delete Notwithstanding the quackery about the conspiracy theory which seems to be pushed by a sole editor agitating on the talk page (and tried this nonsense on Jeffrey Dahmer; this new infobox in their userspace suggests they're definitely WP:NOTHERE any longer), the subject did nothing at all which warrants an article. This is a WP:NOTNEWS/ WP:NOTMEMORIAL case. I also have concerns about the mention of the suspect in the article when they're still awaiting trial for what seems to be a tragic accident.
