john finucane is lord mayor of belfast, a lawyer, a member of the SF party, was the son of a murdered man in a high profile case which involved the POLICE FORCE and COLLUSION between the UK and THE ARMED FORCES and yet his Wikipedia page is being deleted because he is not deemed
notable enough to retain one. Highly suspicious considering elections are eight days away. the reasonings in the log are that Lord Mayor is just a Ceremonial title (despite that being debunked as quick research shows many people retaining a wiki page for being LM of Belfast)
Those people in question were Alliance members and other less notable candidates for 2014-2019 elections drawing from parties like again Alliance the DUP who have not been as in the news as Finucane has have STILL retained their Wikipedia pages.
Not only is Finucane all the things I listed in the first tweet, he's also involved in an inquiry started in February of 2019 into the murder of his own father which is still on going (This is the most recent of at least five inquiries of the murder that I've seen)
So not only is he running in the elections which happen in just over a week, he's actively involved in a case against the UK's government who gave a less than satisfactory report about the death of Pat Finucane back in 2012.
In conclusion, restore John Finucanes wikipedia page. Don't talk about GAA if you are not well versed in the rules surrounding it. He is notable enough to have one, fuck you.
Also in addition, the reasoning for suspending the page in that he might "Spread his campaign there" is so fucking stupid. By that logic, you have to delete All politicians running in elections pages when the vote is close.
The page was deleted on December 1st 2019 by Wikipedia admin Barkeep49 at 01:54am. It's highly unusual that a page would be deleted if it had been Tampered with. It would be locked (which it currently is, as discussion for its deletion is being carried out).
