My apologies for not editing this page to include much more information as yet, I am new to Wikipedia editing. This page is a joint effort between three people, all of whom, close to the deceased. As for notable, a case such as this is notable depending on where you live, if you live in the villages or towns of the Republic of Ireland, everyone knows of the case, it hits the communities hard. I will be sure to include a line stating that if you allow the page to be left live for just a while longer. The whole county of Clare in Ireland heard of this case and realise that this is not an everyday occurrence to them, its the sort of case which just takes you by Storm, despite the troubles in Ireland.

 * Delete. The article does not indicate why the deceased, or her murder, were notable. WWGB (talk) 08:32, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Comment. If you are all "close to the deceased" then perhaps you should read Conflict of interest. WWGB (talk) 23:04, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

I have taken on board the points on that page, personally, I have been trying to put across a neutral point of view, another editor is not. I realise it is not the purpose of Wikipedia to promote cases for the benefit of one side only. It is difficult to be completely unbiased, however, I have agreed with the other two editors, that I will write the rest of the page, seen as the only information to stay on the page was posted by myself. I hope you can appreciate that it takes a great deal to write about something such as this. Thank you for letting it stay live for that bit longer. —Preceding unsigned comment added by SportingShooter06 (talk • contribs) 09:40, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

 *  Strong Keep By searching google news using ALL dates] you find 8 wp:rs hits. This passes notability and reliable sources.  The rest can be fixed with tags and perhaps helping the new editor out.  Notability policy says that subject must be verifiable, NOT verified.  Again, that's what tags are for, not AFD.  P HARMBOY  ( TALK ) 01:05, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment. The last media interest was more than two years ago. Sadly, people are murdered every day. What puts this incident above WP:ONEEVENT? WWGB (talk) 02:53, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
 * The amount of coverage in Ireland. Maybe.  I understand that the article is thin and the fact that is unsolved is the main reason for the coverage, but with several wp:rs sources, it seems to pass.  If nothing else, WWGB says cover the event, not the person, which would mean a move to different title, not a delete.  I'm not claiming to be ironclad about this (and fully understand your argument), but this is what I am reading in the policy here when taken literally.  I am all ears to hear other precedents and learn something new.  Is there another article it can be merged into, if it is borderline?  P HARMBOY  ( TALK ) 11:43, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
 * other comment Read the intro for JonBenét Ramsey which says that the main notability is the longevity and the media interest. This article isn't at THAT level, but where is the threshold?  idunno.  P HARMBOY  ( TALK ) 11:45, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete, no particular encyclopedic notability: neither for the person nor for the murder case. `'Míkka>t 08:04, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Strong keep. The article could use expansion and more detail, but it's clearly notable. Fumoses (talk) 13:19, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - WP:BLP1E applies here. Marasmusine (talk) 14:58, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:BLP1E. I don't see anything in this article that would make this case noteworthy among the many tragic unsolved murder cases that exist. —David Eppstein (talk) 00:58, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
