• Queried speedy delete. Seems a heroic enough action to warrant discussion instead of plain deletion. Anthony Appleyard 08:59, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

:*Copyvio see here - [1]. I also found a google hit on "Brian Weiss Orleans" here - [2] - which describes completely different heroic actions ascribed to (now Captain) Weiss during Katrina. This one - [3] - is a NY Times article that briefly describes Lt. Weiss and another guy, Lt. Ceravalo, respirating the patients by hand. Finally, according to the New Orleans police website, Capt. Weiss is - [4] - head of the traffic division, but that seems hardly notable. I suggest rewrite with more sources, and drop a lot of the Jewish focus of the orginial article -- I would WP:sofixit myself, except I'm already going to be late to work from too much dinking around on wikipedia :) Deltopia 12:21, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

• Don't delete for a few, pls; I'm going to try to clean it up (within the next 45 minutes, anyway). Deltopia 16:14, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
• OK... I am not calling it a GA at this point, but I did my best. I now vote Keep. Deltopia 16:38, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

• Weak delete -- not clear how this is likely to get beyond stub-class. Willing to consider I might be wrong, of course... --SarekOfVulcan 23:44, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

• Delete. Worthy individual, but fails the (imprecise) WP:BLP1E test. It would be wonderful if we could document all the heroic efforts made by everyone during this or any other disaster, but that's not really our remit. For comparison, Wesley Autrey received media coverage as well, but was also decorated by the city government and by the President. We aren't discounting the heroics, but there isn't much to say about them. --Dhartung | Talk 09:57, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per Dhartung. --Sc straker 17:21, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
• Delete with regret; doesn't seem to satisfy Wikipedia policy.--Bedivere 21:51, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
