to Ebola virus cases in the United States, per , for now.  He is only notable for one event, first bringing an existing outbreak to the United States.  He is neither the first patient with Ebola, nor even the first of this outbreak (that is apparently a boy named Emile who died in Guinea).  He should be covered in the relevant articles, but I don't think that currently confers sufficient independent notability.  otability is not temporary|Notability is not temporary, so we should be conservative for now.  However, if more people in the U.S. develop Ebola they contracted (directly or indirectly) from him, that would make a better comparison to e.g. Arvid Noe.  So redirect for now, but be open to develop into a new article if the outbreak is not contained
