Delete: I know there are various similar articles about other murders of young men, mostly from Northern Ireland (Kearney, Evans, etc), but this one appears to have almost nothing particularly notable nor any nexus to larger issues like the other articles do to varying degrees.

Keep The fact that it was an Óglaigh na hÉireann targeted killing makes it notable. Political and terrorism murders ought, in my opinion, to have articles whenever they can be reliably sourced. Adding sources, info now.E.M.Gregory (talk) 12:58, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

Not bad improvements, but not going to withdraw AFD yet, let's see if anyone else has any comments. Yours, Quis separabit? 13:22, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

Clearly more can be done. It is, for example, one of the cases discussed in Legion of the Rearguard: Dissident Irish Republicanism, Martyn Frampton [1], Irish Academic Press, 2011 - if anyone happens to have a copy. Is there some way to ask an editor expert in IRA terrorism to take a look at the page?E.M.Gregory (talk) 13:29, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

Keep - per user Gregory.--BabbaQ (talk) 18:20, 12 March 2015 (UTC)
