This person seems like a wonderful Wikipedian, but I do not see a claim to notability here or case for one as an author. He is unfortunately but one of many war casualties. Projectify as an obit might be an option?

Keep - Should this end up deleted, here's hoping someone adds this Wikipedian's death to
Wikipedia:Deceased Wikipedians/2024. He was one of us, and he should be remembered.

I remember him as a good Wikipedian, but his notability is indeed very questionable (news reports about his death fall under WP:NOTNEWS).

@
Finstergeist, that shortcut tends to be an ambiguous
WP:UPPERCASE problem. Are you thinking of the "
Wikipedia is not a newspaper" and does not engage in original reporting part, or the "most newsworthy events do not qualify for inclusion" part?

Delete. Sad situation, but unless coverage can be found other than in death notices, passing mentions, and Wikipedia itself, this belongs elsewhere rather than as a Wikipedia article.

Delete: my saddest vote to date (maybe ever) but nothing to meet
WP:42 (yes, he was 42). RIP ♡ .. what a legend!
