Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gheorghe Caranda
Notable firsts are generally regarded as notable. The first person to die in an aircraft accident in a particular country is therefore notable, especially if it was in the early years of aviation (the first death in a powered aircraft crash anywhere in the world was only four years earlier). Not a memorial in the slightest, simply a notable first. We have many articles on notable firsts, for the simple reason that they're notable. Just as an example, why is the Joseph William Guyton|first American soldier killed in World War I notable? He was just an ordinary private with no achievements whatsoever except being unlucky. Probably distinctly less notable than an early aviation pioneer. Yet I can imagine the flood of objections if you tried to get the article deleted. Why? Because his death was notable as a first and he came from a major English-speaking country. Yet Wikipedia is |not meant to discriminate against non-English-speaking countries
