Well, on the one hand, evidently every single person who died in the September 11, 2002 terrorist attack on New York and Washington deserves a whole article to themselves.
But on the other hand, nobody seemed terribly upset when I deleted the pages describing various students of "Gate House" and friends during the vandalism kerfuffle involving them a month or two back.
Personally, I believe that a person should have some sort of historical significance, no matter how slight, to warrant a Wikipedia article. But then, I suffer from an overdeveloped sense of structure and philosophical elegance, so perhaps that's just me. :)
