Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/James Kim
He does not meet . Wikipedia is not a memorial site. Also per the essay, Wikipedia:Wikipedia is not a newspaper, we do not have to have an article for everything that is in today's newspaper.  A lot of similar news stories over a few days does not make this likely to pass the "hundred year test."  It is tragic that Mr. Kim died, but hundreds of thousands of people die every year just as tragically, and they do not require Wikipedia article either. We do not create articles for every person killed in a plane crase, or who drowns, or who gets electricuted. He was apparently not notable enough for an encyclopedia article before he got lost and died of exposure, and that death is not of particularly enduring notability
