I raise this article for consideration with great trepidation, considering the circumstances that led to Dr. Breen's death. Unfortunately, I am not finding evidence to warrant the inclusion of this article based on Dr. Breen's career achievements. I do not believe this meets WP:GNG or WP:BIO standards. I raise the subject strictly as an academic consideration and will gladly withdraw the nomination if early consensus shows my judgment was in error. Capt. Milokan (talk) 01:31, 8 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep: There's two NYT refs, one Washington Post, and one Guardian ... what's the problem? This meets GNG. ☆ Bri (talk) 02:11, 8 April 2021 (UTC)

 * Keep - significant coverage in major reliable sources all over the US, UK and many other countries including France and Italy. This should be covered somewhere and there's easily enough coverage to create a decent article from. Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 10:27, 8 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Rename to Death of Lorna Breen  The sources are about Breen committing suicide which is WP:BLP1E. There is probably enough coverage on her death for an article. Breen fails WP:GNG due to a lack of significant coverage about her. Lots of people have their deaths in the news but we don't create articles on them. Wikipedia isn't a memorial.

 * This is a great idea. Capt. Milokan (talk) 22:28, 8 April 2021 (UTC)
 * , If you're open to keeping this article by a different name, then your concern re: notability is moot and this discussion should be closed, IMO. --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 22:35, 8 April 2021 (UTC)


 * Keep, well sourced and notable. Keep at present name. Randy Kryn (talk) 22:22, 8 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete. I'm leaning delete on this one. Seems like a WP:BLP1E. Just reading her article, my subjective impression is that she wasn't particularly notable. Just a doctor that committed suicide. From a WP:NACADEMIC perspective, I tried to google her h-index, not seeing anything on Google Scholar or ResearchGate. – Novem Linguae (talk) 23:15, 8 April 2021 (UTC)
 * I'm sure the closer of this debate will keep in mind that WP:N is either-or with respect to the GNG and a SNG like NACADEMIC. In other words, a valid claim of GNG notability renders consideration of NACADEMIC moot. ☆ Bri (talk) 23:23, 8 April 2021 (UTC)
 * No need to badger. I mention NACADEMIC as an additional way to qualify this person, not as a way to disqualify them. If they had a high h-index, I would have been arguing for their inclusion, despite BLP1E/BIO1E concerns. – Novem Linguae (talk) 23:27, 8 April 2021 (UTC)


 * Keep per what Bri said Mujinga (talk) 08:55, 9 April 2021 (UTC)
