Noeleen Hale

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Orphan article about a living person noted for only this one event. The event fails WP:EVENT and the person fails WP:BIO1E.
 * Delete not notable, as per WP:BLP1E Catfish Jim   &#38; the soapdish  12:19, 23 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete Agree with nom. A single event, and participant was the "human interest" element in the story, arguably not even the main subject of the story. --HighKing (talk)
 * Delete: Not notable per BLP1E. Scolaire (talk) 11:08, 24 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. BLP1E is just a guideline, not a hard and fast rule. She's notable enough to have had a book written about her. LemonMonday    Talk   11:16, 24 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Honestly LM, why is it that you won't/can't perform even the basic research? For accuracy, she has not had a book written about her.  The article does mention a book, but be aware that the the publisher is "Books LLC" and they are known for publishing books based on Wikipedia articles and categories - certainly the case here too.  Check out the category of "Female Police Officers" on Wikipedia and compare to the book....  --HighKing (talk) 11:51, 24 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Regardless. The only reason you and Bjmullan are here is because the text of the arcticle includes British Isles. And I notice in the edit history of the article you've had a previous stab at this back in 2008, no doubt for the same reason. LemonMonday    Talk   12:00, 24 April 2011 (UTC)
 * OK, we're agreed that the book isn't a reliable source. --HighKing (talk) 12:25, 24 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete classic example of BLP1E. Do we have an article about the riot in question? Material can go there,. --Errant (chat!) 13:42, 24 April 2011 (UTC)
 * That could be done. If all else fails I'll merge relevant sections of this article into Ardoyne if that's thought to be reasonable. LemonMonday    Talk   13:56, 24 April 2011 (UTC)
 * No, there's not even an article on the riot and there's nothing to merge since there's zero indication that any of this is notable. --HighKing (talk) 16:30, 24 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Ardoyne has had a number of riots, even I've heard of the place. I'll source some detail later and see if there is anything about this woman that works. --Errant (chat!) 17:25, 24 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Merge with Ardoyne, but mind the opportunity isn't taken to sneak in a British Isles deletion. LevenBoy (talk) 20:29, 24 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Perish the thought! Noeleen's bravery would have been for nothing if the words "British Isles" were not in the merged article. Scolaire (talk) 21:38, 26 April 2011 (UTC)
 * None of the sources, at least so far as I can read, define the geographical scope of the coverage. So that isn't necessarily an issue. --Errant (chat!) 21:24, 24 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Actually, I have one source that says "international attention" --Errant (chat!) 21:27, 24 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Are you suggesting a new article based on riots in Ardoyne? --HighKing (talk) 23:36, 24 April 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete. I can't see why this woman is notable. Just one of many police officers doing her job in difficult circumstances. -- Necrothesp (talk) 08:35, 28 April 2011 (UTC)
