Talk:Scott's Oyster Bar bombing

Lack of notability
Since the only refefrence provided's entire coverage is One person was killed when the IRA threw a bomb into Scott's Oyster Bar (Restaurant) in Mount Street, Mayfair, London I intend to merge this article unless evidence of passing WP:NEVENT is provided.

 * I would oppose that suggestion. It's notable for two reasons A) the bombing and B) the follow up attack that led to the Balcombe Street siege.  As such I believe it warrants its own article.  As to the assertion only one reference was provided, that is only because the OP is edit warring to remove cited content from an academic database - see below.

 * Then provide evidence it meets WP:NEVENT. FDW777 (talk) 11:30, 23 November 2021 (UTC)


 * I can also assume you haven't actually read the reference you are referring to. FDW777 (talk) 11:32, 23 November 2021 (UTC)


 * I'm wondering if WP:COMPETENCE is an issue here or you are perhaps being deliberately obtuse but I have explained how WP:NEVENT is met. WCM email 14:48, 23 November 2021 (UTC)


 * No, you've made assertions unsupported by any evidence, in particular references. The only competence lacking round here is by the editor who claims that in relation to this edit the text On 27 August 1975 the IRA unit carried out the Caterham Arms Pub Bombing, at a pub popular with soldiers from Caterham, which injured 33 people. This attack marked the start of a renewed bombing campaign ("Phase Two") is somehow referenced by this reference. Perhaps you'd like to provide the text from that reference that supports your claim?

 * No answer then? FDW777 (talk) 15:58, 23 November 2021 (UTC)

Removal of cited content
Why is cited content being removed for what is being cited as a BLP issue? I don't see any BLP issue and the lack of conviction is not a suitable reason for it's removal. WCM email 11:12, 23 November 2021 (UTC)
 * "cited"? Don't think so. I suggest reading WP:BLPCRIME also. FDW777 (talk) 11:29, 23 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Red Herring see . WCM email 14:49, 23 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Living persons accused of crime are innocent until proven guilty. Especially when they were in fact acquitted at trial. FDW777 (talk) 14:55, 23 November 2021 (UTC)
 * No one is citing any material that identifies a living person. A Red Herring, multiple reliable 3rd party sources are available. WCM email
