His career is not notable; neither is his death. Part of an education project--the advisor has been notified. DGG ( talk ) 23:52, 23 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. Was easily able to find numerous secondary sources located at Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL. — Cirt (talk) 00:22, 25 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Leaning towards Keep both because, as User:Crit writes, there was extensive coverage across Britain and Ireland. But also because it appears to have been covered as part of a broader concern in the British Isles over, "a society in which random attacks are sadly becoming the norm." [1].E.M.Gregory (talk) 13:03, 25 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment the coverage seems limited to the time around his death, which is aainst the usual rules at WP:CRIME and WP:BLP1E. DGG ( talk ) 01:21, 26 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak keep or at best mention him elsewhere as the coverage maybe accumulates to an acceptable article. SwisterTwister talk 06:46, 27 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment - While this seems to be a "true crime" story about an ordinary robbery gone bad, since it is part of a class project the closer should please be sure to userfy the piece in event of deletion. Carrite (talk) 15:21, 28 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Wikipedia is WP:NOTMEMORIAL, run-of-the-mill journalist who got a lot of obits from his fellow journalists, the ordinary hubbub which is created when one of their own is killed, pure WP:SENSATIONalism, no coverage prior to his death, after his death occasionally mentioned, some see a new particular pattern in violent deaths in that area, but manslaughters/murders have happened since Cain killed Abel, everywhere on Earth, a really sad story, but not notable. Kraxler (talk) 01:25, 1 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: he is only known for this WP:ONEEVENT so it not notable enough in his own right. Perhaps Death of Eugene Moloney moght be a more sustainable article. ww2censor (talk) 10:32, 5 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. The sources that exist do not support passage of the relevant notability guidelines. As a journalist, the subject fails WP:JOURNALIST. As an event, the murder fails the various subsections of WP:EVENT. - Location (talk) 17:18, 5 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Does not appear to be any coverage of him as a journalist, but as a victim of a murder. Polequant (talk) 11:48, 9 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• delete the significant coverage stems from his death not his career and thus WP:ONEVENT applies here. LibStar (talk) 14:52, 9 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
