[edit] Tjandamurra O'Shane
4.5 minutes of fame. Does this qualify as notable? I'm not sure, but I think it falls short. Regards, Ben Aveling 21:37, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
- Weak keep although lack of sourcing is a concern. Certainly at the time it was quite a notable event, and thus there'd be lots of coverage discussing him. The trick, of course, will be to find same - something I'll make an attempt at. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 22:05, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
- Keep. A well known victim of crime and a Google News Archive search provides some sources. [1] Capitalistroadster 02:08, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

- Keep. -- notable and received lots of media coverage at the time. Requires expansion, not deletion. - Longhair\talk 03:41, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
- Keep multiple reliable sources qualifies as notable, it doesn't matter that he's not "famous" any more. Although Sophie Delezio is more notable as she was unfortunately injured twice, the media coverage at the time was about the same of Tjandamurra and his injuries. He was also one of Who Weekly's 50 most beautiful people in 1996, I believe. --Canley 05:38, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

- Embarrassingly, that rings a bell. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 06:00, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
- Keep Racially-motivated attempted murder of a child, who is also a close relative of a well known Aboriginal magistrate... Notable, historically significant. Numerous, non-trivial sources will exist for the months this child was in recovery, the trial and sentencing of his attacker, and follow-up stories from the years after 1996, especially if the well-known alternative spelling 'Jandamarra O'Shane' is used to search. Kind regards, --Greatwalk 08:23, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
- Withdrawn, unless anyone objects? Ben Aveling 12:16, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
