Rest in Peace

I'm not sure if this is the right place to put this but I'd just like to express my sympathy. You will be missed. -(BrutusCirrus 22:58, 30 November 2007 (UTC))[reply]

Reuben's father

His actual name is 'Freddie Kee', despite being wrongly reported on the media as 'Frankie Kee'. Please do not change the name back to the wrong one. XGargoyle 09:47, 3 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Is this person notable?

Reuben Kee died in an accident, and some Internet people that played with his Mugen characters want to tribute him. But is a Wikipedia article appropriate? I believe the answer is no. This is the kind of thing people should blog about.


  • Reuben made 3 prominent Mugen characters. Mugen characters are definitely not notable, nor are the people who make them.
  • Reuben liked making music. Should everyone who likes making music have a Wikipedia article?
    • Are people that "[earn] some notability" with OverClocked ReMix subject to Wikipedia articles? The person who created it, while named on its article, doesn't have an article.
    • Are people that composed the soundtrack of some film that doesn't have an article itself subject to Wikipedia articles?
  • Reuben won a regional beauty pageant. The pageant doesn't have an article, and I would be astounded if another winner has an article.
  • Reuben was a member of the Singapore National Dragon Boat team. Are participants of dragon boat racing notable?
  • Reuben died tragically at a young age in a dragon boat racing accident. While the event was newsworthy, being involved doesn't make someone encyclopedically notable.


This article is an inappropriate use of Wikipedia, so I have marked it for biographical notability. --24.207.198.84 19:49, 4 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Here are some reasons why the article should be kept:

  • Reuben won a regional beauty pageant. The pageant doesn't have an article, and I would be astounded if another winner has an article.

There is an article for the Mister World 2007 in which Reuben Kee was a contestant. His name appears together with all the other participants, some of them also have their own articles.

  • Reuben died tragically at a young age in a dragon boat racing accident. While the event was newsworthy, being involved doesn't make someone encyclopedically notable.

There are articles for several passengers of the United Airlines Flight 93, for example Todd Beamer or Tom Burnett. You have the same scenario, a national tragedy and several victims that are aknowledged in the wikipedia. Why Reuben shouldn't have his article? He wasn't just a random victim who happened to be there in the wrong time, his achievements both in real life and online made him notable. XGargoyle (talk) 22:51, 4 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
