Comment: As usual, tragic story, but this is a clear case of being famous for one thing only ()-in this case, the circumstances surrounding her death

Comment: per .  Playing the race card here is rather reprehensible.  Why isn't Burnett being deleted?  Because his several cellphone calls during the flight received widespread media attention and notoriety.  What about Martinez is notable, other than she was on the flight

Comment: It's painfully obvious that  is being misapplied because it's a policy for living people. But if it's going to be misapplied in this case, then it also needs to be misapplied to delete the pages of the four Flight 93 hijackers http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ziad_Jarrahhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ahmed_al-Haznawihttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ahmed_al-Namihttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saeed_al-Ghamdi in order to preserve WP's "absolute and non-negotiable"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Neutral_point_of_view policy of presenting a neutral point of view. Are the editors who want this page deleted going to nominate those pages for deletion as well

Comment: Subject is notable by wikipedia standards (see ) because of the multiple news stories about her. The |Wikipedia is not a memorial policy doesn't apply because of her notability. Saying that the page should be deleted because of  doesn't makes sense because that's a policy that applies to living people

Comment: While I think the BLP arguments are non-nonsensical (especially since we are not dealing with a living subject), I do see this article as more of a memorial then anything which would violate . It's a weak delete because the Anna Svidersky article is essentially the same type of article just substituting a my space phenomenon for the United 93 movie

Comment: Her notability is more borderline than Jeremy Glick (September 11, 2001 attack victim)|Jeremy Glick.  Martinez attempted to make a phone call (from row 34), but the call did not connect.  That said, there are numerous news articles that talk about Martinez http://news.google.com/archivesearch?q=%22Waleska+Martinez%22&btnG=Search+Archives&um=1&hl=en&ie=UTF-8 and I think enough web sources about her to provide needed sources to make this a proper, encyclopedic article.   (news story) rule is intended for people (like those subject if Internet memes and such), where they are in the news, but the sources available are inadequate to make a complete biographical article beyond the one event.  In this case, there are plenty of sources.  That said, sources are not as plentiful as for Jeremy Glick and a few others, but there are significantly more sources about Martinez than there are about most, the less notable 9/11 victims. (for example, picked one at random http://news.google.com/archivesearch?hl=en&um=1&q=%22Vanessa+Langer%22&spell=1) As the article is now, though, it only has to references.  It needs quite a bit more work to bring it up to expected standards

Comment: the exact guidelines you're looking for are  and . "Notability among a certain group of people" does not make one notable ''assumming'' it is a small group, e.g. a small town or high school. A country, especially a heavily populated one like, oh say, China, is most definitely not a small group
