• Delete. The unfortunate boy had five hours of media attention and then killed himself. A classic case of WP:NOTNEWS. WWGB (talk) 01:20, 5 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with Royal, delete this. TiMike (talk) 00:08, 11 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per WP:BLP1E. Would like see if we could have a page of in-school violent incidents though. Things like this may not be as large as Columbine High School massacre but they can used later on. The 15 minutes of fame for this person could, in the future, be written about or used as an example so would be nice to see a place to mention it.

• Let me know if you want the content of this and other articles retrieved to build an article on school violence and I'll put it in your userspace. Royalbroil 23:41, 5 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete It is a sad, unfortunate truth that teenagers commit suicide every day in this country. This one just happened to do it in a way that garnered him some attention. At the young age of 15, he made a poor choice and should not be remembered for that error that ultimately resulted in 15 minutes of fame.

I agree with Wolfstorm000 about having an article about in-school violence and including this within the article. Thank you-RFD (talk) 22:20, 5 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
