The article seems to be more than a memorial, in that it covers the aftermath of the suicide, which resulted from cyberbullying, and has a reference which seems to state that the state passed legislation as a result of the incident to restrict the freedom of cyberthogs cyberthugs to bully other children. The "notability is not inherited" argument fails completely when the action of the child (suicide in response to bullying) results in legislation, since the father would never have been involved without the suicide. Every other "Megan's Law" or "Amber Alert" likewise had involvement by family members after the death in getting it implemented, but counted toward notability in a major way in contrast to every other regrettable death of a child.  See . The article's title should reflect the incident and not the previously nonnotable individual. He would have to be supernatural to act following his death and lobby to get a law passed
