Deletion of Ian Mackenzie-Kerr

Comment: a non-notable person who did his job for 50 years.  I don't know that there's a bright line on whether obituaries make someone notable; but when a person gets an obituary like this without having had any significant coverage during his life I can't believe it amounts to very much.  A beloved, but otherwise completely low-profile, local figure may get an obituary upon death, and while  doesn't, strictly speaking, apply to a deceased person, I think the principle is worth remembering: "If reliable sources cover the person only in the context of a single event, and if that person otherwise remains, or is likely to remain, a low-profile individual, we should generally avoid having an article on them."  To my thinking, that pretty much applies to someone's death as well

Comment: I believe that  was not followed correctly in this case. In particular, under section 3, it would have been appropriate to add a {{notability}} tag before proposing deletion for this article. I would request that the original proposer follows  before nominating any further AfDs in future
