Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Scott Prouty
at this time to Mitt_Romney_presidential_campaign,_2012#Video_of_private_fundraiser, and later, I hope to Mitt Romney 47% video as I believe the video is of enormous historical importance. I will try to explain to Jehochman how the three criteria in  apply in this case. 1. The sources cover Prouty only in the context of this one event. A rescue is wonderful but not otherwise notable. 2. Prouty is a low-profile individual who remained anonymous for six months and has repeatedly stated in recent days that he does not seek fame for himself. 3. Prouty's role was nowhere near as substantial as John Hinckley's in the Reagan assassination attempt. We have no articles about the videographers or photographers who documented that notable event. Hinckley caused that event himself by wounding four people including a U.S. president and severely disabling one of those, Jim Brady. Mitt Romney was the primary actor in this 2012 event, and if Romney had given his standard stump speech, Prouty would be unknown. Prouty was the messenger, not the historical actor, who was Romney. Prouty deserves a redirect, and some basic biographical information in whatever article describes the video and its political impact in greatest depth, but there is no need for a stand-alone article about him at this time
