Danielle Beccan

Murder victim. Child was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Newsworthy at the time, but no evidence of any ongoing significance. It is hard to say "non-notable victim" but there you have it. If the murder is notable, and I think it is not, then this should be moved to being an article on the muder, and certainly not a biography. -Docg 21:52, 5 June 2007 (UTC) 
 * Delete A sad case indeed but just being a victim, even a young one, isn't notable.  Jody B   talk 22:31, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment Should probably be a section of an article on gang shootings in the United Kingdom, along with a similar event I recall occurring in Birmingham (I don't remember the victim's name). JulesH 15:54, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks,  Krakatoa  Katie  08:25, 12 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete. Hugely notable for the family and the community she came from, and obviously much more newsworthy than most other deaths. But when placed against other murders there is sadly nothing to set this one apart from many others. Kim Dent-Brown  (Talk to me)  12:06, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete. I'm more tolerant of articles on subjects with "single-event notability" than some, but I can see no appropriate place to include this material at this time.  The subject does not appear to have been discussed in any wider context (the sole Google Scholar hit is a trivial one-off mention in a book).  In cases where these subjects are involved in a well-defined event, I support merger to the article for the event, but in this case the event is a drive-by shooting that, while tragic, is not itself notable.  A brief mention might be possible in an article about the gang involved, if it was notable; I am not able to determine if that is the case, but Waterfront Gang does not currently have an article.
