Eric Bradbury (murder victim)

I declined this speedy deletion request from an IP address, who indicated in an edit summary (of deletion ofsources and content) that " this article is extremely inflamatory, and is hurting families involved. Please leave like this or remove entirely. Thank you.". This article is not a speedy candidate but I would like others opinions about its notability. It is not clear to me that this terrible murder is any more notable than the many, many others that occur on a yearly basis. Slp1 (talk) 00:15, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete: I looked at the sources and WP:NOT. Schuy m 1  ( talk ) 00:17, 1 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete: there are hundreds of murders that occur within canada on a yearly basis. Why punish the families any further by having this article, yet none about the other's.  I don't believe that it's news, I don't believe it's notable.  It's an article about two individuals that are not famous for anything else.  Please delete it. WP:NOT.  —Preceding LeeAnne Gould comment added by 75.158.87.15 (talk) 00:28, 1 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete This sounds like a guy who is famous for one thing. Or it's a memorial to a guy famours for one thing. Either way... delete per WP:BIO1E and WP:NOTMEMORIAL. -- Swerdnaneb 00:32, 1 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete as failing WP:BLP1E for only being notable for one thing. Pie is good   (Apple is the best)  01:14, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Murders are tough to become notable. They need to pass the required criteria to be notable. This doesn't. Undead Warrior (talk) 04:03, 1 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete declined another speedy by the alleged creator because it has been edited further (I re-declined it when added back on the same grounds). But it should be deleted nonetheless as per the excellent arguments presented above. Regards  So  Why  07:29, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per above, WP:NOTNEWS --Banime (talk) 09:22, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete famous for one thing only, and the whole thing reads like a news article, barely going into his life. Should be moved to Murder of Eric Bradbury as per Murder of James Bulger, Murder of Rhys Jones etc. -- how do you turn this on  14:23, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh, and also delete per the IP comment who wanted this deleted in the first place. -- how do you turn this on  14:25, 1 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete. However unfortunate Mr. Bradbury was, he does not meet criteria of WP:PEOPLE.   PK  T  15:52, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
