[edit] Aidan McAnespie

Delete: Non-notable as one of over 3000 victims of the Troubles. Clear hagiography. Mazur-Grosskopf 19:03, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

• Keep. Notable, useful, interesting. M.V.E.i. 20:33, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
• Delete NN Sad story. Inflammatory in tone. Very opinionated. Tiptopper 20:35, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per WP:MEMORIAL and WP:BLP1E. Sad & tragic? Yes, definitely. But he has no notability outside of this one incident, and so an article isn't suitable for Wikipedia. AllynJ (talk | contribs) 20:46, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
• Keep The case was highlighted at the The Forum for Peace and Reconciliation, held in Dublin Castle, April 1995.[1] I have also added some more info and references to the article and will add more latter.--Padraig 23:09, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
• Comment. I've added some more information, and references, although I'm not as happy with some of them as I could be (One's a fan forum article, but it is discussing a Panorama programme.). No strong opinion on the deletion debate. --Kateshortforbob 23:32, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. Aidan McAnespie's notability comes from the fact that the circumstances of his death were raised every time the GAA was pressed on whether it should continue rule 21 about non-involvement with security forces. He is not just 'another victim of the Troubles' but a very highly publicised case which has had significant political and cultural ramifications. Sam Blacketer 23:45, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
• Keep, sources obviously treat it as a special case, investigations indicate unusual importance. --Dhartung | Talk 03:26, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
