WP:BLP1E. WP:BIO1E They were not known before 7th July 2005 London blasts. No other notability than one suicide bombing.

 * Oppose (propose merge) Regardless of how they fail the WP:BLP1E, none of these articles should be deleted; they should be merged into the 7 July 2005 London bombings. Deletion is a finality and whilst I don't object to the fact that they fail the guideline(s), a merge is far more palatable than a flat-out delete. Not all information needs to be merged, just some of the background. The joy of all things (talk) 11:29, 26 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Oppose WP:BLP1E applies to living people, so is not applicable. The correct policy is WP:BIO1E, which they all seem to meet. I suspect that this would be a contentious deletion.--DavidCane (talk) 21:05, 27 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Still Oppose deletion following change of rationale. WP:BIO1E states "if the event is highly significant, and the individual's role within it is a large one, a separate article is generally appropriate". This seems to fit in these cases. Parallels would be the 19 9/11 hijackers who each have an individual article or the three IRA activists killed in Gibraltar during Operation Flavius.--DavidCane (talk) 09:56, 28 April 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep Per WP:BIO1E which states "if the event is highly significant, and the individual's role within it is a large one, a separate article is generally appropriate". I'm often in favour of deleting articles about low level terrorists and criminals or minor incidents/failed plots. But the 2005 London bombings was a terrorist attack of virtually an unparalleled nature and is of significant historical importance. Therefore it easily meets the criteria at WP:BIO1E.

 * Redirect and selectively merge to 7 July 2005 London bombings as is usual with terrorists, excepting those who have committed multiple attacks. This young mass-murderer did not attain posthumous celebrity as some terrorists and other murderers have done, nor were there longform articles analyzing his path to terrorism. Articles about his background did run in several papers in the days after the attack, and these can be added to a section on him in the article on the bombing.E.M.Gregory (talk) 16:57, 1 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Changing iVote to Keep, articles on all 4 are well-sourced.E.M.Gregory (talk) 19:17, 3 May 2017 (UTC)
