There is nothing notable about this crime. It is a routine homicide and fails WP:NCRIME. It does not warrant a Wikipedia article. WWGB (talk) 05:38, 11 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. This was an extremely high profile case in Ireland, with a lot of media coverage. It played a role in lots of discussion about femicide in Ireland. The page is incomplete, and doesn’t mention this aspect yet, so I will try to get around to adding it, but even missing that aspect it clearly has enough coverage to warrant an article imo. Also, reading WP:NCRIME, it seems to go against the message you’re purporting that it says. It says that while breaking news is often the subject of deletion discussions, “media coverage can confer notability on a high-profile criminal act”. The page currently vatious sources dealing with the case, comprised of national newspapers and the national broadcaster, which were released over a period of four years. I think this page very clearly meets the WP:GNG. This is very similar to my objection to the other article you nominated, the Murder of Nadine Lott, because these cases were both very high profile in Ireland, drawing lots of media attention, and are often linked together in media in discussions of femicide in Ireland.

Delete - Fails WP:NCRIME. Unfortunately, this is just a routine murder. It was not a high profile case. Only got media coverage in its immediate aftermath, as all murder cases do. Spleodrach (talk) 11:29, 4 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Nothing to indicate that the thresholds of WP:LASTING, WP:NOTNEWS and WP:NCRIME are exceeded. Rightly or wrongly there isn't scope for us to have an article on every awful crime - including every terrible murder. (Most if not all murders are subject to material coverage; Of the event and any following court proceeding; It is worth noting that, while the NCRIME guideline does read "media coverage can confer notability on a high-profile criminal act" it continues with "provided such coverage meets the above guidelines". This "provided that [X is also true]" qualifier is critical to interpretation. And the guideline cannot be read without it. As the "provided that [X is also true]" means the coverage of a crime/event should meet the LASTING, DEPTH, PERSISTENCE, criteria. Not solely the RS, SIGCOV criteria.)

Delete The murder fails WP:NCRIME, WP:LASTING, and WP:MILL because it was a routine event that did not have any lasting effects. LSGH (talk) (contributions) 15:23, 17 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
