Bro. Larry Timmons[edit]
Non-notable person, improper title, highly POV, article does not corroborate accusations that the government was involved in his death, all speculation. RickK 02:35, Apr 11, 2005 (UTC)
- Keep and improve. Compare Oscar Romero. Gazpacho 02:40, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Delete, not notable, POV essay. Megan1967 07:40, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Keep The article as currently written does not accuse the government of his death, but rather reports others accusations: "The Nakuru Diocese claimed in the local newspaper...". The governments version is also reported. The article seems to me to be NPOV. The account of in the article is largely cooroborated by this report. This source also implies that Timmons might be considered a martyr. The article of course can be moved to a better title. Which leaves the issue of notability. His case seems to have at least attracted the attention of the US State Dept. (here also and the European Parliament. Dsmdgold 11:42, Apr 11, 2005 (UTC)
- Keep POV concerns have been addressed, verifiable incident. However article should be renamed - Brother Larry Timmons? -- Lochaber 10:49, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Keep, much improved. However, I would echo Lochaber's concerns about the article name. -- Dcfleck 15:34, 2005 Apr 16 (UTC)
