Deletion of Alden Brock

Comment: As nominator, I find both of these options (keep-history-and-redirect and write-article-about-flood-but-only-if-otability-is-met) are as good as if not better than outright deletion

Comment: per : When an individual is significant for his or her role in a single event, it may be unclear whether an article should be written about the individual, the event or both. In considering whether or not to create separate articles, the degree of significance of the event itself and the degree of significance of the individual's role within it should be considered. The general rule in many cases is to cover the event, not the person. However, if media coverage of both the event and the individual's role grow larger, separate articles may become justified.If the event is highly significant, and the individual's role within it is a large one, a separate article is generally appropriate. The assassins of major political leaders, such as Gavrilo Princip, fit into this category, as indicated by the large coverage of the event in |reliable sources that devotes significant attention to the individual's role.When the role played by an individual in the event is less significant, an independent article may not be needed, and a redirect is appropriate. ... The subject, Alden Brock, is significant for his role in a single event, drowning during a flash flood at Philmont Scout Ranch. He has received significant coverage for his death only. He has not received significant coverage outside his death. Therefore,  applies and there should not be an article about him.Another possibility is to write an article about the event, which would be titled 2015 Philmont Scout Ranch flash flood. Alden Brock's death could be covered in the context of that article. Here are several articles that discuss particular flash floods: Kopuawhara flash flood of 1938, 1971 Canberra flood, Jacobs Creek Flood, and 2015 Utah floods. There is a list of flash floods.Any article about the Philmont flash flood must meet Wikipedia:Notability (events) or it could be nominated for deletion and deleted. There is coverage of the flood from national sources like ''USA Today'' and ''NBC News'', as well as regional and local sources: http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2015/06/28/boy-scout-dies-flooding/29420383/, http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/boy-scout-dies-flash-flood-new-mexicos-philmont-scout-ranch-n383261, http://www.santafenewmexican.com/news/local_news/details-of-deadly-flash-flood-that-killed-boy-scout-raise/article_ba4cd170-af60-5eb7-a7af-22f77c9a41b8.html, http://www.tampabay.com/news/publicsafety/accidents/boy-scout-dies-in-flash-flood-while-camping-in-new-mexico/2235373, http://www.sacbee.com/news/local/crime/article25770799.html, http://www.sacbee.com/news/local/article25933819.html, and http://www.taosnews.com/news/article_720d9ef2-1dc7-11e5-b31c-178d9f1f83dd.html. These sources ensure that the flash flood event fulfills  and . The two other main considerations are  and . It is unclear if the flash flood fulfills them.For now, since there is no article about the flood, I recommend redirecting to Philmont Scout Ranch (with the history preserved under the redirect) so that the content can be reframed to discuss the event if desired
