BLP issues; only one reference. Being kidnapped once does not make him notable. — Jake Wartenberg 19:15, 5 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Notable event, reliable and notable sources. Google News Archives result, Google books result. We can't apply WP:BLP1E on it in my opinion. --Vejvančický (talk) 19:36, 5 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep per coverage over a long time-period: [1] shows articles from the 70's, when the event happened, but also shows modern coverage, showing that, even if it is one event, it was a big enough one that the event conferred notability for this person. Example: extensive 2005 BBC article: [2]. The kidnapping was evidently such a big deal that it had major economic impacts: [3]. This is a very clear-cut example of when someone notable for a single event DOES belong in wikipedia. Cazort (talk) 19:59, 5 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep: his kidnapping was a very notable event which I remember well at the time, making world headlines. Later he was made an honorary Irish citizen. Needs expanding and will be interesting. ww2censor (talk) 21:30, 5 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep:. As said above, his kidnapping was a headline event at the time. Moveover, the kidnapping has become an event in itself.--Damac (talk) 00:26, 6 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep per many of the above points. The article at present doesn't really assert the importance and notability of the kidnapping at the time, which was a remarkably high-profile case both in and outside Ireland. I also tend to think that the subject might skip a BLP1E problem by being made an honorary Irish citizen, one of only around a dozen, which would be notable in itself.
