I'd argue that martyrs recognized by the Roman Catholic church are almost always notable; they attract enough attention to get |significant coverage in many reliable sources. Most martyrs are ''not notable until they die'' -- by definition they are merely confessors until death for their faith. The distinction was the subject of my triplet sister's Ph.D. thesis (see Logan, Barbara Ellen. ''The Askesis of Abjection: The Ethics of Everyday Suffering in Early Christian Martyrdoms''. 2002.) via the process of askesis. In other words, all martyrs are notable and confessors, but all confessors are notable and martyrs, even if the process of martyrdom reveals their holiness
