| *'''Keep''' per the arguments and references supplied by ONiH. These would certainly indicate notability.

Very questionable notability. Her campaigning apparently started in 1971, and yet she only made the news (according to the cited references) upon her death in 2007? Misplaced Pages is not a memorial nor a news service. kingboyk 14:23, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
- Delete Yeah, this does just seem to be a page about a persons death. Felix 17:06, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
- Keep I have (distant) memories of the campaign ie it is the sort of thing I would have to look up in an encyclopedia. Aatomic1 20:05, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
- Comment If it was just an article about someone who had been killed by a plastic bullet during the Troubles then I'd definitely say it was a memorial. However like many people from many backgrounds and cultures, information generally becomes centrally available in obituaries when they die. I can't see the full article as I'm not a subscriber, but this uses "Iconic campaigner" and I'm not sure UTV would cover the death of some random person. UCAPB get some publicity - - and as she campaigned using an organisation it's not unreasonable that there wasn't that much coverage of her when she was alive. I'm on the fence anyway, so no !vote from me. One Night In Hackney303 20:08, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
- Delete, not even about her death. Just about her being hit with a plastic bullet. I was injured in a rugby match at school, do I deserve a WP article? nonsense. --Counter-revolutionary 20:09, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

However she could merit inclusion in plastic bullets or a Relatives for Justice page if one were created satisfying encyclopedia criteria. I just want to mention also that there is a discrepancy in the page as it now stands -one line states she was shot by a rubber bullet but goes on to state that she became an anti-plastic bullets campaigner. This seems to me to be a discrepancy.Sergeant Trotter 23:30, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
