Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Al Haynes
I wrote the article about Tammie Jo Shults.  There was an Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tammie Jo Bonnell|over-zealous attempt to delete her but the result was a '''Keep'''.  There was an Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Chesley Sullenberger|AfD for Chesley Sullenberger too, with a similar result.   The nomination in this case is of poor quality because it is implicitly suggesting merger and that's not done by deletion.   is likewise not an argument for deletion because that's intended to cover minor participants in an event -- people like the passengers.  But the subject in this case was the captain and is the subject of specific coverage as the article contains 8 sources whose title includes the name of the subject, such as "Remembering Al Haynes, the pilot who...".  And, of course, the subject is dead and so talk of BLP is nonsense.  There's plenty more coverage to find such as ''https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=BD9a12eG0okC The Human Contribution'', ''https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=lXFTAAAAMAAJ Pilots, Personality, and Performance'' and ''https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=9WJOAQAAMAAJ How Expert Pilots Think'' in which the subject is discussed in detail as an exemplar.  The subject got an https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/24/us/alfred-haynes-dead.html?smtyp=cur&smid=tw-nytobits obituary in the NYT which is excellent evidence of notability per  and so passes
