This page in a nutshell: Lists about victims due to an event are appropriate on an article

Usually, the names of victims are mentioned...

WP:NOTMEMORIAL states that memorials do not belong on Wikipedia. However, the name of a person made notable by an event is not a memorial due to being a part, even if unintended or unwanted, but the name of a person who was involved in the event in some way.

"Since you didn't read my earlier message, here is WP:MEMORIAL. "Subjects of encyclopedia articles must satisfy Wikipedia's notability requirements. Wikipedia is not the place to memorialize deceased friends, relatives, acquaintances, or others who do not meet such requirements. [...] See WP:RIP for a mostly complete list of such Wikipedians." For such an article, see here for one example that is allowed per WP:RIP. If you check, you will see that the whole article is only about those people and nothing else. THAT is what WP:MEMORIAL refers to and why it mentions the "notability requirements" for creating an article. The fact that it is used incorrectly as a policy is something that must be fixed.

Now then, I believe that these victims are notable through the event, and for most only the event, that killed them. Therefore, they should be allowed to be at least named as victims on this page only, since I do not think that there is a dispute over if they are dead or not."

To conclude,

[...] It should be noted that the fact that Wikipedia is not a memorial does not proclude covering those who died in notable events- merely that people should not be included merely as a memorial. The overwhelming consensus was that these people were collectively notable as a result of the circumstances of their deaths. [...]
