Was redirected as a result of an AfD a couple of years ago, and nothing has changed since then. Case of WP:BIO1E. No notability outside of the scandal. Should be a redirect to that page, but redirect was challenged. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 11:13, 31 October 2022 (UTC) reply

Keep The article has been expanded and improved a lot since the AfD a couple years ago, and he received a prestigious international award in the field.

His notability being mainly limited to the scandal isnt the point and isnt a disqualifier, which WP:BIO1E says. If the event is highly significant, and the individual's role within it is a large one, a separate article is generally appropriate. That definitely applies.

The BLP includes a lot of RS info that isnt in the Fishrot Files article and has no clear place to add it. If we merged the articles, it would basically double the size of the Fishrot Files article Softlemonades ( talk) 11:32, 31 October 2022 (UTC) reply

• Keep The subject played a major role in one of Iceland's an Namibia's biggest scandals of the century and has been highly covered in both Icelandic and Namibian sources. Being mainly notable for one event does not disqualify the subject from having an article per WP:BIO1E. Alvaldi ( talk) 21:00, 3 November 2022 (UTC) reply
• Keep per above discussion. I don't understand the nom. If he wants to merge, then merge it or propose a merger. That's not the purpose of AfD. Bearian ( talk) 02:39, 7 November 2022 (UTC) reply

I believe the nomination is asking for an official redirect, not a merger. The last AFD decision was to redirect but that obviously didn't last. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 09:34, 7 November 2022 (UTC) reply
