Article is about a person who died of a disease and the subsequent books and life stories about dealing his disease, I'm pretty sure that there hundreds of similar situations as this, so notability is questioned Janarius 13:44, 12 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep Prepared to be argued down on this one, but he seems notable. (He was notable enough to be the subject of a biopic.) --Dweller 13:52, 12 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. True, Wikipedia is not a memorial, but the subject appears notable with the film as compelling evidence. Angus McLellan (Talk) 14:27, 12 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - wikipedia may not be a memorial, but in this case, the person in question garnered enough attention to be notable, and there are references provided. -- Whpq 16:44, 12 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment It seems to me it's the book (and movie) that should have an article, not the individual. Citicat 23:46, 12 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
