The Hanna family

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This article is about a family who were newsworthy only for a single event in their lives - their deaths at the hands of the IRA due to their being mistaken for the actual target. This occurred by chance rather than due to who they were. As such it fails WP:1E. Additionally, the article reads like a memorial or obituary of these people, which fails WP:NOTMEMORIAL. The bombing itself may be independently notable, however such an article would have a completely different content and title. The encyclopedic information in this article is already recorded at Chronology of Provisional Irish Republican Army actions (1980-1989). To the best of my knowledge, the title "The Hanna family" is no more associated with this bombing than with any other event involving a family with the surname "Hanna". Thus the title and content of this article are not useful and should be deleted, without prejudice for the creation of an article on this bombing with an appropriate title and content, assuming it can be demonstrated to be independently notable.

 * Delete per WP:1E and WP:NOTMEMORIAL as they were notable for only their deaths, which received coverage only because of the related incident. 22:14, 5 December 2011 (UTC)
