Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Danny Preddie

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was redirect to the Damilola Taylor article, consistent with the outcome of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ricky Preddie. Consensus in this debate was muddy, but I believe this solution is in line with the delete comments as well. Can't sleep, clown will eat me 19:23, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Danny Preddie

Oh boy. I'm sort of afraid to tackle this one. I would have tagged the article with "mergeto" Damilola Taylor, but the information already exists in the Taylor article. As such, this page duplicates information already existing in the encyclopedia. Additionally, it is not clear whether the images are copywrited. Suggest delete. CPAScott 14:10, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. Duplicates the info in the Taylor article without adding to it. Unnecessary. Richardjames444 14:17, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete I think too. Appears to be the third time a pair of people has been charged for this crime. Let's wait to see if these become particularly notable (convicted?!) and need their own articles, as opposed to being covered in Damilola Taylor. Encyclopedic notability not known (as opposed to news notability), Wikipedia:Recentism, let's wait if these people have anything encyclopedic in their lives that isn't already covered in a more helpful article.

• Delete These two people were charged with a crime, and that crime is the only reason for the page Danny Preddie to exist. That page already contains these two people, and therefore, they don't need their own page. Also, they haven't been convicted yet! --Porqin 15:26, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Duplicates info. They have been convicted... but they have achieved nothing more than become semi reknowned for swearing in court and killing a young boy. They are not really worthy of anything more than a passing mention. Kouros 15:31, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

• The Danny Preddie article states as of today, they have been charged with the crime, but they have not been convicted. Either way, it doesn't change my opinion on deletion. --Porqin 15:35, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

• Delete Looks like duplicate info, also being common criminials doesn't make them noteworthy. Wildthing61476 15:32, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete This Damilola kid wasn't even murdered. He fell down and cut himself - just because he is black the police need to charge someone to stop themselves being seen as racist. User:Danieljohnson

This comment is neither helpful nor appropriate. --CPAScott 21:29, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

• Uh, I trust you are all aware that Danny and Ricky Preddie have both been convicted today by a jury of the manslaughter of Damilola Taylor, and probably qualify as two of the UKs most notable juvenile criminals as a result? -Splash - tk 22:00, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

OK, but I still assert we don't need three articles to discuss it. One will suffice. --CPAScott 22:52, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

I'd suggest two. Obviously Damilola Taylor, but maybe then Danny and Rickie Preddy (or full names...whatever) to go with it. At the absolute minimum, there should be redirects from both their individual names to somewhere. -Splash - tk 23:56, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

• Looking now in some newpapers they are calling them the Preddy Brothers. So mabye just a page about Preedy Brothers. tk 23:56, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

• Delete There only really needs to be one article. There would not be much information on the "Preddy Brothers", and all the necessary information would already be in the Damilola Taylor article. -A Shade Of Gray 12:30, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

• Merge and redirect to Damilola Taylor, or just delete it completely. RFerreira 18:52, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect to Damilola Taylor, he is only notable in the context of that article. Do not keep separately, but the name in our search index will be valuable. -- nae'blis 18:57, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

• Redirect to Damilola Taylor per Nae'blis, search ability for this name is useful. Yamaguchi先生 08:48, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
