Being in the news does not in itself mean that someone should be the subject of a Wikipedia article. We generally should avoid having an article on a person when each of three conditions is met
- If reliable sources cover the person only in the context of a single event.
- If that person otherwise remains, and is likely to remain, a low-profile individual. Biographies in these cases can give undue weight to the event and conflict with neutral point of view. In such cases, it is usually better to merge the information and redirect the person's name to the event article.
- The event is not significant (I think that this event is significant so this does not apply)
In that case, I think reformulating this article to refer to the event rather than to a low profile individual who hasn't been in the news for two decades would be better. Hemiauchenia ( talk) 18:45, 20 June 2020 (UTC)
