Deletion of George Miok

Comment: I PROD-tagged this and my reasoning here will be the same;  (this individual is known for only one event), and #MEMORIAL|Wikipedia is not a memorial.  When considering questions of notability such as this, I find it useful to ask myself the question, "What has this person actively done?", because, to my mind, notability accrues to people who '''do''' things that make them notable.  In this case there doesn't seem to me to be any action which distinguishes this individual from his peers; something happened to him but not because of him. Occasionally victims of crime meet the |general notability guideline but I don't see that here

Comment: per #MEMORIAL,  and .  While this person is admirable, and his ultimate sacrifice to his country should be honoured, in all reality this page is acting as a memoral and the subject has no true claim to inclusion per Wikipedia's guidelines. Cheers

Comment: I agree that his notability is based only on the event of his death, which does not make him independently notable enough. This differs from Michelle Lang, who as a National Newspaper Award winner passed  even before she was killed

Comment: despite being a well written and well sourced article, the subject fails  as the biography of a person famous for a non-notable event, who is not otherwise notable.  As the OP said, don't take this review as harsh or insensitive, my personal view is that Mr. Miok and all of the others that have been killed in action are heroes. However, a soldier killed in a military conflict is not notable, and the ongoing roadside bombings in Afghanistan are not ''independently'' notable.  The sheer number of ghits is irrelevant: #NEWS|we are not reporting the news here, and he has not done anything that we would consider |notable other than being killed alongside the first Canadian reporter to be killed in this conflict, and that does not make him notable beyond .  While I applaud the work of the editors on this article, and recognize the sensitivity of the subject matter, Wikipedia is WEBHOST|not a web host and |not an indiscriminate collection of information. As other commenters here have suggested, I also suggest that this article should be moved to an appropriate web server as a memorial (which these soldiers rightfully deserve

Comment: As mentioned earlier, the coverage is due to a single (and fairly common) event. Because there's nothing particularly unusual or historical about this event, it's safe to assume that the coverage is typical of that given to most war casualties: widely reported at the time, but won't persist, so it fails the criteria at . I can't honestly see individual deaths like this appearing in sources six months down the line, so I don't go for the "too early" arguments

Comment: The article has only been in place for 2 days. There are many other articles in Wikipedia about events/people which may or may not pass |Wikipedia's notability criteria. I would advise against any hasty deletion of this article until such a time as has been proven that no further information about the person is forthcoming

Comment: This nomination will be seen as callous and insensitive by some editors, but I believe it is appropriate. All Canadian military deaths in Afghanistan, including Sgt Miok, are reported appropriately at Canadian Forces casualties in Afghanistan. Sgt Miok's life prior to his untimely death was not exceptional, and he does not meet WP notability requirements. In particular, the guidelines  and #NEWS apply here
