Deletion of Mark Bingham

Comment: He's the subject of the highest award in LGBT rugby, the ''Bingham cup''; he's consistently rated in top 100 lists in ''Advocate'', ''Out'', and other such media; he's literally the chief subject of a new national park; and he was the protagonist in a major Hollywood film.  I don't know how |much more notable a dead amateur athlete can be. He was not just a witness; he was the man who saved thousands off lives.  His name continue to appear in |reliable sources through today, almost ten years after his death

Comment: Although |Wikipedia is not a memorial, Bingham was one of only a few passengers on United Airlines Flight 93 to capture the public's attention in a major way (others include Todd Beamer and Jeremy Glick). http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&tbs=bks%3A1%2Ccdr%3A1%2Ccd_min%3AJan+1_2+2001%2Ccd_max%3ADec+31_2+2011&q=93+%22mark+bingham%22&btnG=Search&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq= Hundreds of Google Books hits attest to this. I don't mean to portray Bingham as a "victim" per se (which might be seen as belittling his heroic efforts, along with other passengers, to thwart the hijackers), but he literally was a victim of the hijacking, and he does qualify as notable under : "The victim, consistent with , had a large role within a well-documented historic event. The historic significance is indicated by persistent coverage of the event in reliable secondary sources that devote significant attention to the individual's role." Bingham's notability is not as a rugby player, not as a PR executive, but as a 9/11 hero, and he is definitely notable for that
