Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bill Foley (singer songwriter)
Foley became a hero when he was playing a regular, once-a-week gig in a restaurant when a guy who had apparently been listening to too much jihad propaganda walked in and started attacking people with a machete (2016 Ohio machete attack).  Foley picked up a chair and swung it at the machete-wielding jihad-wannabe.  One of the guys in the  kitchen then picked up a baseball bat and chased the jihadi  out.  Coverage was extensive, now adding to this article.  But it did not seem like ONEEVENT because Foley coverage makes it clear that Foley was a regionally well-know professional musician.  Note that I'm not arguing that he a nationally famous musician,  just a guy who passes  because of a touring career that got coverage at the time, a mid-life career as a beloved and regionally well-known leader of a central Ohio oldies band, and intensive, extensive news coverage of the moment when he picked up that chair and defended a restaurant full of people from attack coverage that hinged on the fact that he was already a locally notable musician (demonstrated by tee fact that the kitchen worker with the baseball bat did not get the kind of profiles Foley did.)  Some of the coverage is on the question of whether Foley would be able to play guitar again with his damaged hand.  Coverage is coverage, no matter what prompted an editor to assign/run the story.  Note also that Coverage in RS (i.e. newspapers from the 90s) counts towards notability, and is essential when, as here, a performer's touring career took place a couple of decades ago and, therefore, coverage is in news archives and behind paywalls
