Hana Horka is in the news because she died of COVID-19 after deliberately getting infected while being unvaccinated, in order to qualify for a vaccine passport in Czechia. She was also a vocalist for folk group Asonance, but I cannot find any coverage of her other than of her death. Her death is not a major event so WP:BLP1E applies - being a member of a notable band does not in itself make her notable. I redirected the article, but the article creator reverted.

- Redirect to Asonance per nom, WP:BLP1E applies. All I can find in a search result from before this year is scattered mentions of the band in local news. – filelakeshoe (t / c) 🐱 13:24, 20 January 2022 (UTC)

- I also cannot find reliable sources for this individual outside of articles about her death. I agree with the proposal to Redirect. DJ Cane (talk) 13:40, 20 January 2022 (UTC)

- Redirect to Asonance per filelakeshoe. Jdcooper (talk) 12:21, 21 January 2022 (UTC)
- Redirect to Asonance. She's only as notable as the band itself. Just because she got international coverage because of the nature of her death, does not give extra weight to her actually notability. --Jkaharper (talk) 13:59, 21 January 2022 (UTC)
- Redirect to Asonance. She did nothing notable outside the band, and per WP:BIO1E the recent news coverage does not make her independently notable. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 15:55, 21 January 2022 (UTC)
- According to People notable for only one event, moving the article to Death of Hannah Horka would seem the most appropriate action, since the event of her death has had a large enough media presence to be deemed notable.
“ | […] when an individual plays a major role in a minor event […] the name of the person should redirect to the article on the incident, especially if the individual is only notable for that incident and it is all that the person is associated with in the source coverage. | ” |
- I don't believe her death is a notable event. Unvaccinated people dying of COVID-19 is a run-of-the-mill event. See Wikipedia:Notability (events) for the criteria. There's been a burst of rather sensationalist and brief reporting because she chose to get infected, but there's no wider repercussions from her death. We have the general article Deaths of anti-vaccine advocates from COVID-19, but lists of deaths have been repeatedly deleted. Fences&Windows 22:31, 22 January 2022 (UTC)
