Comment: per . This person appears to only have come to media attention through his death, and the article is written like a memorial

Comment: World's largest fire school" strikes me as an extraordinary claim that would require solid support, and I can't find ANY support for that claim in our articles. The ''section'' of Texas Engineering Extension Service about the field says that at 120 acres it is largest in the US - this claims appears to be based on area, not on attendees, which strikes me as less remarkable. http://www.teex.com/teex.cfm?pageid=agency&area=TT&templateid=1160 This source says "The 120-acre Brayton Fire Training Field in College Station is the largest in the United States...", and http://teexweb.tamu.edu/teex.cfm?pageid=teexresc&area=teex&storyid=987&templateid=23 this source says, "He was especially noted for his role in planning the future development of the Brayton Fire Training Field, considered by many to be the top firefighter training facility in the world." The latter seems too |weasel-wordy to use

Comment: I agree that Mr. Barrett was an impressive individual, and it is a shame that he died so suddenly. The points above about the references are telling, however - almost all of them deal with the fact that he died. |BLP1E doesn't necessarily apply, but it's informative - individuals notable for only one thing should be covered as part of that one thing, rather than as individuals. If you take away the death-related sources, there is only one source that tangentally relates to the subject - and that's not enough to support an article, not by a longshot
