After thinking about it quite a bit, I have re-evaluated my position and will change my vote to Neutral for now. I think the real question here is whether or not the event that there was the first white valedictorian at Moreohouse, while clearly notable in the sense of  in view of the massive coverage it received, deserves a separate WP article at this time. If the answer is "yes", this article needs to be kept (it is not really possible to write an article about this event without it turning essentially into a biographical article about the person; if the event is article-worthy, this would not be a BLP1E case as a careful reading of  indicates). If the answer is "no", the event, and, correspondingly, the person, may be covered in the Moreohouse College article for the time being and then this could be treated as a BLP1E case for now. Saberwyn gives a good argument for this "no" option above. One could also give a reasonable "yes" argument here on the basis of various historic firsts and lasts being permanently notable and article-worthy once they get enough coverage. Ordinarily, for me at least, notability of the event is the primary consideration in deciding if a separate article is warranted. There is no question that the event passes the actual reading of  and the person passes the actual reading of . However, notability is not the only consideration in deciding if an event warrants an article and Saberwyn makes a good argument along these lines above in this specific case
