Doesn't appear to pass WP:PERP, my intuition suggests deletion, but another alternative would be a redirect to Gerry_Kelly or perhaps elsewhere. I didn't immediately see other coverage of that particular event save at those of the other PERPs involved. I haven't nominated the other folks in that bombing, who have more additional content, but someone more familiar with our standards on PERPs might want to check out the Marian Price and Dolours Price articles as well as Gerry, all of whom seem to at least have other events associated with their biographies. joe deckertalk to me 18:30, 26 September 2011 (UTC)

 * comment&mdash;i don't have an opinion on this yet, but i did add a little bit of stuff to the article. he was also involved in a hunger strike (as were the price sisters), and there was an interesting incident involving an art theft and ransom attempt.  anyway, it's there in the article and i'll keep thinking about what i think.&mdash; alf.laylah.wa.laylah (talk) 20:00, 26 September 2011 (UTC)
 * keep&mdash;i think i've put this article into a reasonable enough shape so that it's clear that it's notable. i can't quite find sources for the actual car bombing, but there are enough for the rest of it that i think it passes the gng. there is some more material i've found relating to feeney's activities with sinn fein after his release from the maze that i will be adding, along with info about the kidnapping of lord donoughmore and his wife in 1974 by the ira in an attempt to trade them for feeney and the others.&mdash; alf.laylah.wa.laylah (talk) 02:43, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. As leader of a terrorist cell which carried out major attacks, he does seem to be notable. -- Necrothesp (talk) 08:26, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Keep - Feeney led the IRA gang responsible for two car bombings in London in 1973 (http://news.bbc.co.uk/onthisday/hi/dates/stories/november/14/newsid_4724000/4724181.stm). These were among the earliest attacks in the 'troubles' and they shocked the English public by being in the capital city. The trial in Winchester was a first too, with extreme security precautions. Feeney and the other ringleaders then went on hunger strike, which caused enormous media interest. Yes, Feeney is notable. Chiswick Chap (talk) 13:40, 4 October 2011 (UTC)
