Deletion of Francesco Schettino

Comment: Much of the hype over this article is a good example of  on wikipedia. After a first initial flurry of edits and articles, which reflected the sudden surge of news reports in the immediate aftermath of the sinking, this is now tailing off. News reports are fewer, the rolling coverage is being replaced with occasional updates. He is notable for  at the moment, and my feeling is that the level of interest currently seen in him will not be sustained enough for 'the degree of significance of the event itself and the degree of significance of the individual's role' to merit a separate article. As an aside, an even more borderline example of this is the creation of the article on Sándor Fehér, who is one of what looks to be sadly over a dozen people to have died in this incident, but not otherwise independently notable beyond the circumstances of his death. But like Schettino the papers are scrambling to make a big deal about him. This article should probably be redirect/deleted as well

Comment: I wouldn't have an objection to speedy closure per  with the result of redirect to Costa Concordia disaster and full-protection for at least 6 months

Comment: although opening an AfD wasn't the best way to resolve the disagreement, as no one is arguing for deletion. Anyhow, Schettino does not pass  at this time, and a redirect to the main article would be optimum
