Question for nominator @
The Diaz: The previous AfD closed as Keep with a suggestion to move the page to
Suicide of Michael Marin as an alternative to deletion. Do you object to that move proposal?

Delete Reads like an obituary, fails 1Event.

Delete per Reywas92. Individual and event of his death seems completely unremarkable and uninteresting. There is insufficient
WP:RS in the lengthy article. However, I did find more
WP:RS,
here. If there is more
WP:RS from independent sources that make this person seem worth having an article about, I might reconsider my !vote. --

Keep per previous AfD
here. I do see he is highlighted
this book. The article definitely needs to include some of the these resources and focus on what the
WP:RS says about him rather than the long rambling mostly unsourced narrative that indeed sounds more like an Obit.
Cullen328 included some important
WP:RS there that changed my mind. It's unfortunate that the
WP:RS has not been used since then. --

Keep. Satisfies GNG. There are more sources besides the two in the article. There is a lot of coverage in GNews:
[1][2][3]. 1E is not on the face of it a factor, as sources cover his whole life in detail. Even if it was a factor, the only result would be a page move to the event. NOTNEWS is not on the face of it a factor, because sources deal with events in his life several decades before the sources were published ("news" must be very recent). "Reads like an obituary" is not a grounds for deletion. It is difficult to see how BLP can apply to someone who died six years ago.
