Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/John Smeaton (baggage handler)
and merge content into 2007 Glasgow International Airport attack. ''Please'' could the editors whose only justification is "the guy deserves an entry" read Wikipedia policy on what is (and is not) notable |here, and also what Wikipedia is not for |here. Press coverage, by itself, does not establish notability... and is also not necessarily a reliable source. It's a fine line as to how much fame someone needs before they become notable - I would argue that people like Jade Goody, Paris Hilton etc should not have articles either, because they are non-notable people from an encyclopedic perspective. Does Mr Smeaton deserve a medal? I'd be honoured to pin it on him myself... but does he belong in an encyclopedia? Taking an unemotional, rational look at it - sorry, no
