Deletion of Alan Kurdi

Comment: to Death of Alan Kurdi. Two parallels that occurred to me are ''Afghan Girl'', which is treated as an article about a photograph, and Phan Thi Kim Phuc, which is treated as an article about a person. In the latter case, however, there is notable information about the person's later life, which is not possible in the case of Alan Kurdi. Here, it seems to me,  is the relevant guideline, and it's the event rather than the person that is notable—if either is. (Oh, and '''delete''' Photographs of Alan Kurdi as unnecessary duplication

Comment: and move to Death of Alan Kurdi. This is not  and  as it is clearly already a significant news event. Renaming it as "Photographs of Alan Kurdi" is a non-starter. That phrase may make sense in German but in English it's confusing. It sound like he's a photographer and we have an article on his works. "Death of..." has precedent and is accurate. It's not just photographs people are responding to. It's his death as well. The death is demonstrably notable as a news item

Comment: to European migrant crisis. Yet another case where  is ignored and we can't wait to cover |a recent event without waiting to see whether it becomes an encyclopedic subject on its own or peters away. Sad as it is, coverage is already diminishing rapidly, pointing to the latter. I hate to say it, but that poor little boy does not meet our inclusion criteria for a stand-alone biography and his tragic and unnecessary death is one of tens-of-thousands in the last few years

Comment: The story of this boy's death and its impact is undeniably notable, and already historically significant, having received media coverage and political responses across the world. I wouldn't object to renaming the article to Death of Alan Kurdi, but there is simply no case for deletion. I believe that the nominator, Burst of unj, either doesn't understand the English Wikipedia's content policies, or is deliberately trolling. I suggest a  close of this AFD
