Yet another non-notable victim of the Norther Ireland troubles. No difference to the other 3,500 victims. I listed for speedy deletion and it was removed with an editor claiming it was a notable case without giving any reason. Consensus is against listing every victim of a conflict. There is nothing notable about either the person listed or the circumstances of their death. Dmol ( talk) 15:58, 16 May 2014 (UTC)

- Delete. To repeat what has been said in many similar cases: whilst any death is tragic, and deaths due to natural disasters and conflicts, declared or undeclared, seem particularly so, it is our policy that the subjects of articles must be notable. For this reason we do not have articles on every soldier killed in a war, every victim of a pandemic, or everyone who died in a horrific disaster, though we will probably have articles on the war, pandemic or disaster in question. We do have articles about people who have died in such circumstances, but only where those people were already notable for other reasons. Although Mr Gilvarry's death was a tragedy he himself was not notable. It is not our place to provide personal memorials. RomanSpa ( talk) 06:53, 17 May 2014 (UTC)
