Article about a person known for recently reported news. Wikipedia is WP:NOTNEWS and the event is not something likely to endure time. CNMall41 (talk) 03:20, 28 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. This appears to be a WP:COATRACK/WP:BLP1E (and a claim of notability vis-à-vis that one event is tenuous at best). The only other coverage is routine. An article does not appear to be justified. --Kinu ^t/_c 06:45, 28 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I very much appreciate your challenges, as this is my first page and I'm learning loads from you. My first steps to further improve: 1) Expanded article to include press coverage of 2nd notable violent incident, this time as an adult. This suggests this page is not WP:BLP1E. 2) New reference added documenting personally-promoting press interview, suggesting this page is not WP:LOWPROFILE ^[1] In a similar vein, before I started this page this person was already listed as Superintendent on Katy Independent School District, and there are existing pages for other Superintendent's in Houston-area school districts, (e.g. Abelardo Saavedra,Rod Paige). I appreciate there is much more to do on this page to make it compliant. I'm highly motivated, but technically slow, so I'd appreciate some time (and further kind advice) before any deletion decision is reached. Thanks --Damian874221 (talk) 01:49, 29 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Just completed a few more edits trying to find balance and context. Thanks --Damian874221 (talk) 04:13, 29 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - despite the author's efforts, I'm not seeing evidence of notability outside these unproven claims. Probably not a great idea to focus on something controversial and on-going as your first page? (Says the man whose first page was deleted about 10 years after it was created!)
