Can someone explain why “Kobe Bryant has died” submissions seem to all be getting deleted, but the ones that approach it from a tangent (like this one) aren’t?

I have seen plenty of “x has died” posts on HN for people who ostensibly have nothing to do with HN’s core topics. For example, Terry Jones received such a submission with nearly a hundred responses just a few days ago.

Why is this different?

Here's a tech/startup-related tangent to hack the submission guidelines:

Will this tragic accident completely sour the idea of air commuting to the public, thus rendering Uber's efforts moot?

But the Terry Jones one wasn’t doing anything like that. The title and article was simply about his death.

Yes, this is very disturbing as a person of color.
