Death of Keltie Byrne

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

These individuals are only notable for One Event In such a case the general rule is to cover the event, not the person. The event has been covered in great detail in the articles Tilikum (orca), Blackfish, Killer whale attack, Sealand of the Pacific, Tilikum v. Sea World, and Captive orcas. I am also nominating the following related pages because as they are both related as being part of the same event.

 * Merge Dukes to Tilikum_(orca) as there's literally nothing else known about him. I'm undecided at the moment about Byrne. Star   Mississippi  14:16, 11 May 2022 (UTC)


 * MERGE. Actually, if you look at any one of those pages you listed, the Keltie Byrne incident is not discussed in detail at all, but rather mentioned in only a brief couple of sentences with a citation to only one news article here and there. I could see perhaps merging all 3 of Tilikum's "victims" into one article titled "List of incidents [caused by Tilikum? Is that appropriate??]" or something where the individual pages could be collected together without outright deleting them fully, but they have a great amount of notable detail that doesn't warrant deletion so much as merging for practicality's sake. The Byrne case in particular is often ignored simply because it's Canadian, not American, despite there being a wealth of news articles, witness statements and other secondary sources on the subject. Deleting it would be counterproductive and dismissive to something important. Merge it maybe, but I wouldn't fully get rid of it. PetSematary182 (talk) 16:00, 11 May 2022 (UTC)PetSematary182
