List of the names of children who died at the Bon Secours Mother and Baby Home

The children themselves are not individually notable. Wikipedia is not a memorial. WP:MEMORIAL. Harizotoh9 (talk) 22:02, 11 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps this list would be better as a wikisource as a historical document since the information is from birth records. Although, I just reviewed some the "List" articles on Wikipedia and there are many lists constituted of individual elements that are not notable (by a certain interpretation). I'm not sure this list is different from other existing lists. AugusteBlanqui (talk) 23:28, 11 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

multiple national sources (I cited two in the list article) have deemed the list to be notable enough to publish. If it is notable enough for them it seems logical that it would be notable for Wikipedia. AugusteBlanqui (talk) 23:44, 11 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. WP:NOTMEMORIAL and just a copy/paste from two source articles. No evidence of notability. Ajf773 (talk) 08:03, 12 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Yes, WP:NOTMEMORIAL exists, but while none of the children are individually notable, for obvious reasons, the circumstances of their deaths and subsequent interments are indeed notable, the issue is very much a live one in Ireland and elsewhere, and the list will prove useful to further researchers, at least in the short to medium term. Given WP:IAR and WP:NOTPAPER, I recommend retention. Bastun^{Ėġáḍβáś₮ŭŃ!} 12:48, 12 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- An article discussing the topics you've mentioned already exists Bon Secours Mother and Baby Home, which is notable. This list of names is not notable and is what wikipedia is not. Ajf773 (talk) 17:40, 12 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. While the topic of the deaths is encyclopedic, the list of names is not. Pburka (talk) 17:47, 12 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete (or merge/redirect) - per nom and comments from other editors. (The primary subject, as covered in Bon Secours Mother and Baby Home and elsewhere, absolutely meets the relevant notability criteria for WP:EVENT, WP:EFFECT, WP:ORG, etc. The guidelines however do not immediately support a standalone article or articles on the victims. Per WP:VICTIM and WP:BIO1E, people whose notability stems from their association with an event (however appalling) are generally represented in the article on the event.)

Delete - Wikipedia is not a webhost for others, even for good causes. The list is entirely unsourced. I also agree in particular with Pburka. Bearian (talk) 16:43, 14 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - per nom, and per Guliolopez (talk · contribs). I strongly believe these innocents should be memorialized but Wikipedia isn't really the place - Alison ^❤ 09:11, 16 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - as my nomination.CAPTAIN RAJU (✉) 20:17, 18 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
