This page was deleted in January for failing WP:GNG, User:AlexdeGrey please explain why you have recreated it and why you think he passes WP:GNG. Mztourist ( talk) 03:59, 29 April 2020 (UTC) reply

Mztourist Thank you for your message. Please note that I did not write the original article. From memory, as I cannot see it now, the original page was inadequately referenced. It is the case that his death generated a significant number of obituaries across the world to demonstrate his notability AlexdeGrey ( talk) 06:43, 29 April 2020 (UTC) ( talk) reply

I do not agree, the obituaries focus largely on his family and notability is WP:NOTINHERITED, his notability was not enduring, so I'm going to put this up for deletion again. Mztourist ( talk) 06:56, 29 April 2020 (UTC) reply
