Bumping from speedy. I am neutral. Notability concerns. —Quarl ^(talk) 2006-11-13 02:12Z

Weak keep As can be seen by the BBC news link and the 480 ghits, notability and verifiability are not issues. Also, the last criteria of WP:BIO states that people who've gained renown as a result of being assasinated are eligible for an article. However, I'm not entirely sure that the 480 ghits and a few news sites constitute "renown". Ultra-Loser Talk / Contributions 05:56, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep It documents a newsworthy facet of the Northern Ireland peace process' social context, which IMO is underreported in Wikipedia. Stammer 07:57, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per Stutter. Quite notable when viewed in context. Black-Velvet 13:38, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, 50 Ghits [1] on a search of name and location, not all of which relate to the article. No more notable than any other murder victim, certainly not renowned. Nuttah68 17:35, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. This killing is a newsworthy facet of the Northern Ireland peace process only if there's a prominent source for the material in the final paragraph (about possibile political motivations for the PSNI statement). As of now that paragraph is simply asserted and may represent no more than one editor's personal speculation. If this accusation has some currency (regardless of whether it has any truth), provide a source and keep the article; otherwise delete. (I refrain from voting while waiting to see if this can be sourced.) JamesMLane t c 12:43, 18 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
