Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Joel Sonnenberg
e/c)While I respectfully disagree with DreamFocus that a person is notable if a documentary about them wins an award, The documentary itself should be considered coverage in a reliable source. The fact that a CBS program has devoted "much of its hour to following how Sonnenberg..."http://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/USAToday/access/32400974.html?dids=32400974:32400974&FMT=ABS&FMTS=ABS:FT&type=current&date=Jul+28%2C+1998&author=Peter+Johnson&pub=USA+TODAY&desc=Accident+victim+goes+'Public'+after+19+years&pqatl=google adds to the significant coverage that is already present. To address Stuartyeates' comment above, in my opinion, whether sources are integrated into the article matters little to this discussion, as we do not delete articles for issues that can be fixed by editing, and adding sources to an article is editing, we should only be concerned about whether sources exist. I mentioned in my !vote that  may apply, I am now of the opinion that it does not, because the event (Sonnenberg's family's car being crashed into by a tractor trailer), is not the main reason that he is notable, rather, it is his recovery from his burns, his attitude, facing the truck driver who caused the incident in court and many other issues. The sources I have cited only spend a minority of their words talking about the initial event, and the majority about other issues. Hence my keep is no longer weak.
