His death is a sad story, but this subject doesn't seem notable. WP:NOTMEMORIAL applies. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:33, 16 June 2015 (UTC)

- Comment - based on his professional success I would agree that he appears to be non-notable despite the circumstances of his death, but he was a first round draft pick so may have achieved coverage for that and for his amateur career that was apparently impressive enough to warrant a first round pick. But a quick search for sources understandably brought up a lot of articles about his death, so may take a little more digging than normal to see if there is notabilty-worthy coverage besides for his death.

- One trick I use is to do a web search on Google and choose a date range, so in this case, anything prior to December 2014. I did find this and this, but nothing else. I don't think that plus the reports on his death are enough. – Muboshgu (talk) 20:57, 16 June 2015 (UTC)

- Redirect to List of Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim first-round draft picks as a probable search term. The target article does have information about the subject. Spanneraol (talk) 15:30, 17 June 2015 (UTC)
- Redirect would be appropriate if no additional coverage is found. Rlendog (talk) 19:29, 17 June 2015 (UTC)
