  • Keep. One of a very small number of IRA terrorists killed during attacks on mainland Britain (ie Notable). The sources given in the article include the BBC and the Guardian (ie verifiable in reliable sources). C'mon. Squiddy | (squirt ink?) 15:24, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep - firslty calling him a terrorist gives an insight into the POV of the editor who has nominated this article. Notable person and was also a key figure in the Birmingham Six saga - however more details of this should be added to the article.--Vintagekits 15:29, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

  • KeepThis man is very interesting, especially as he was friends with at least one of the Birmingham 6. Should be expanded.

  • Keep, although the references tell more than the article, he does meet WP:BIO (and some POV does need to be cleaned up a bit). SkierRMH 01:58, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
