Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Steven Slater
A classic case of BLP1E distortion.  The point of that guideline is that we should not have biographies as spinoff articles from notable events if the people in question were ancillary to the event.  But this case we have one person, one event, one article.  The topic is highly notable, being covered globally in major news media and so merits coverage in some fashion.  The name of the article and its scope is not a matter for AFD as it can be addressed by ordinary editing in accordance with our |editng policy
