Humberto Viola

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

An Argentine captain whose only claim to notability is being killed by guerrillas. Clarityfiend (talk) 21:27, 25 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:BLP1E. Granted, the one event was the final event, but you can only be killed once, so it is still just one event. Qworty (talk) 23:25, 25 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. There are several sources that mention the subject while discussing the time period [1] [2] [3] (more), and it appears that the condemnation of his daughter's assassination effectively brought an end to the retaliation row that the EPR started after the massacre of Capilla de Rosario. It would be feasible to merge to a suitable article if necessary, but the content falls well within Wikipedia's scope, and a standalone article is not inappropriate given the sources available — Frankie (talk) 19:49, 26 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep (or merge). Yes, one event - but a quick GNews search shows that the subject's assassination is still being talked about in Argentina nearly forty years later, and GBooks also produces a number of accounts of the assassination in both Spanish and English which make it clear that it had a significant effect in escalating the Dirty War. No objection, though, to moving the article to, say, Assassination of Humberto Viola (in fact, I'd rather support this) or merging it as a section in a suitable longer article.

Keep (or merge). His death seems to be notable, even if he is not. Still, relevant information that should be kept in this article or merged into another.Alwhorl (talk) 19:28, 29 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Keep: The es.wiki version is more comprehensive and supportive of notability of the subject. Death is a notable event in Argentine history. If must engage in the facade of moving to Murder of .... I guess that's possible too.--Milowent • ^hasspoken 13:24, 2 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - There's substantial coverage in one book showing in the footnotes. HERE'S ANOTHER, Masters of War: Latin America and U.S. Agression From the Cuban Revolution through the Clinton Years, by Clara Nieto. There was also a retaliation bombing by right wingers on the 1 year anniversary of the subject's death, giving further evidence that this is not a run of the mill killing but rather one with lasting historic or sociological importance.
