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)
  • Keep per the arguments and references supplied by ONiH. These would certainly indicate notability. Bear in mind most of her and the UCAPB's campaigning would have been in the 70s and 80s, before newspapers started maintaining online archives (the Irish Times, the first Irish newspaper to really embrace the internet only had online archives going back to 1996 last time I checked).

  • Comment Again, this isn't an article about someone who died during the Troubles. It is an article about someone who was prominent during the period, and has since died and due to the obituaries there is sufficient source material for an article to be created. Also, there is no discrepancy, she was hit by a rubber bullet but campaigned against rubber and plastic bullets. One Night In Hackney303 23:33, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
If she was prominent back then, there would have sufficient material available before she died, surely? --kingboyk 00:25, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
