Deletion of Melvin Gainer, Jr.

Comment: subject only appears to have received significant coverage in articles/obituaries about the subject's death. Therefore, even if those obituaries the subject is only notable for a single event and falls under , and as that event is the subject's death, and the death itself isn't notable the criteria set forth in , this article then falls under . Nothing against the service of the subject, however, the subject does not appear to be notable , meeting none of the criteria set forth within it
