Talk:Murder of Joseph Rafferty

Delete?
"The article subject is not notable and the entire article is non-sourced and contains controversial and unsubstantiated accusations against individuals or groups."

While I would question "not notable", I note that it is sourced in the external links. I'm sure there are areas that can be improved so I would welcome help rather than deletion. Fergananim (talk) 00:45, 20 September 2012 (UTC)
 * The first or second sentence in the Article should say explicitly why the person is notable. And anything and everything in the Article must be properly sourced. And accusations against groups, especially accusations about murder, must have several reliable sources. Sources that contain just opinions and speculation should not be used whatsoever. The controversial nature of the Article, its lack of proper sourcing, and the external links to sources containing entirely, or mostly, speculation require that this article either be completely rewritten or just deleted. The article does not appear to be an article about "Joseph Rafferty", but an article about speculation that this individual may have been murdered by people with an association with Sinn Féin or the Provisional Irish Republican Army. Such accusations should not be included in Wikipedia unless they can be completely backed up. Just my humble opinion, take it for what its worth. King of Nothing (talk) 01:02, 20 September 2012 (UTC)
 * So in that case would it be more appropriate to title it "Murder of Joseph Rafferty"? Fergananim (talk) 01:34, 20 September 2012 (UTC)
 * That would solve my problem with "The article does not appear to be an article about "Joseph Rafferty", but an article about speculation that this individual may have been murdered by people with an association with Sinn Féin or the Provisional Irish Republican Army."

 * Removed my request for this article to be deleted, as the issues of my concern are being worked on. King of Nothing (talk) 05:54, 20 September 2012 (UTC)
