Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Rachel Corrie
I am the nominating IP. I nominated this page as it is utterly clear Ms Corrie only has a page on this wikipedia for one reason- her death. The circumstances and issues of her death generated a considerable amount of news. This I agree. However her life was entirely lacking in any notability. Thus she does not overcome the  guideline. There have been many people who have been killed and their deaths generated a tremendous amount of media attention. I remember back to the PhD student at the University of Chicago who was killed on campus. His article on this wikipedia was deleted for the simple reason that his life was not notable. Only his death was. Thus, he did not survive the  test. See: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Amadou Cisse (student). In addition, Wikipedia is not a memorial, thus Ms Corrie's article must be deleted pursuant to . Thus, Ms Corrie's aricle must be deleted or merged into other articles- such as one about IDF home demolitions as an accidental casuality. Special:Contributions/24.61.10.180|24.61.10.180
