Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Marcel Gleffe
I refrained from voting initially in order to allow some opportunity for the nominator or others to explain further in the light of the WP guidelines why the article should not be kept, but in the absence of that this has to be a clear keep. Mr Gleffe plainly meets , and although it can be argued that his presence close to the scene of the shootings initially was mere chance and others acted in a similar way, his actions on the day have been picked out internationally as exceptional. When judging notability Wikipedia does not concern itself with whether other people better deserved to be US president, have a music hit, make a sports team, etc, it records those who did make it. And Marcel Gleffe has attained the ranks of those who have become notable through showing exceptional courage in the service of others
