Subject of article, while unfortunately recently deceased, is a casualty of a bombing which already has its own article - 2008 Balad bombing. Article does not establish that the subject has any notability beyond being a victim of that incident. Wikipedia is also not a memorial. Ozgod (talk) 16:28, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
