Jon-Paul Gilhooley

One of about 100 people killed in this disaster. Not really notable. There's some fairly trivial connection to someone that might be notable, but that's it. This article can never really grow past the one-liner that it is. Tragic, but WP:NOT for memorials. eaolson (talk) 02:22, 16 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as per nom. This is not a Hillsborough memorial website. Eddie.willers (talk) 02:47, 16 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as a memorial, or if the info. is deemed significant to the article on the disaster then merge and rd. JJL (talk) 03:56, 16 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - while this young lad's death was obviously tragic, being related to famous people does not make him more notable than the 95 other victims. No need to merge, as his name and relation to Gerrard were already mentioned in the main article on the disaster anyway -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:09, 16 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Far from notable. – LATICS talk 07:20, 16 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete not notable as per nom. (Quentin X (talk) 07:23, 16 April 2009 (UTC))[reply]
Delete - Yes, his death was tragic, but how does being related to Stephen Gerrard make him any more notable than any of the other 95 who died at Hillsborough? DitzyNizzy (aka Jess)|(talk to me)|(What I've done) 09:14, 16 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to the disaster article. His relationship to the Gerrards (since there are two a redirect to either of them is unworkable) means his name is a likely search term for readers to use. - Mgm|^(talk) 09:32, 16 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- For what it's worth, we only have a confirmed source that he was Steven Gerrard's cousin. Although Steven and Anthony Gerrard are cousins, that doesn't automatically mean that Gilhooley was in turn cousin to both of them..... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 09:35, 16 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, I'm afraid he's no more notable than the other 95 victims, and his relationship to Steven Gerrard is already noted in the main article; this article doesn't add any more information to Wikipedia, and it's unlikely that much more than the circumstances of his death and his relatives are notable for a ten-year-old. -- Arwel Parry (talk) 10:01, 16 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

DONT DELETE... Its useful information. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.135.69.154 (talk) 11:47, 16 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Does it really matter if he wasn't a notable person in his own right? He still died at Hillsborough, you insensitive clods. Andrew RACK 16:09, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

Uh, yes ... it matters a lot actually on Wiki. Check WP:N, we can't have an article here about all 96 people who died. – LATICS talk 17:22, 16 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There's not an article on all 96 people who died so why not pay the boy and Steven Gerrard some respect by remembering those that died. He is like the statue of this accident, and since this disaster how many more disasters such as this one have occured? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.231.187.216 (talk • contribs)

Not a matter of respect. Matter of notability. – LATICS talk 22:06, 16 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as per above. Suggest this is a snowball. TastyCakes (talk) 16:18, 16 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I say don't delete as it mentions WHY this particular person is notable. If the decision is taking to delete it, maybe a merger of other Hillsborough victims into one article is a good idea. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.44.101.51 (talk) 10:48, 17 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- There's already a full list of victims at Hillsborough Disaster -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 10:52, 17 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as per eaolson —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.238.129.10 (talk) 15:00, 19 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as per nom, WP:NOTMEMORIAL, WP:ONEEVENT, fails WP:N. Mentioned in Gerrard's article, no substance or encyclopedic value in stand alone article.--ClubOranje^T 10:59, 20 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. With the exception of Tony Bland, none of the victims were notable enough for Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a memorial, and notability is not inherited. Bettia (bring on the trumpets!) 11:06, 20 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - WP:NOTMEMORIAL. --Angelo (talk) 08:29, 21 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
