Thank you for the useful reference, Domer48.
However, I must respectfully disagree that either
 a consensus was reached at all (or adjudicated) in the reference you quote above and
 that, if a consensus was displayed, it was as you describe.
I think that the argument supported the original complaint:
""==NPOV - Murder vs killing ==
There seems to be a bizarre NPOV inconsistency being raised over articles relating to people killed in Ireland. There are (1) victims of IRA / PIRA such as 86 year old Sir Norman Stronge, 8th Baronet and James Stronge; (2) victims of Loyalists such as Pat Finucane (solicitor), (3) “victims” of the British army such as Kieran Fleming; and (4) suicides such as Bobby Sands. There is a vocal and persistent lobby which is pro Irish Republican, many of whom belong to Wikipedia:WikiProject_Irish_Republicanism, which argues (I think) that a death is a killing until somebody is found guilty of murder even when that killing is generally defined and established as murder by law and in the international press.""...(kiwiexile at DMOZ)  • "
