- The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.
The result was no consensus, default to keep. Having discounted arguments concerning geographical scope (WP:ITSLOCAL), it's unclear whether the article passes or fails WP:GNG. However, as most of the article's content satisfy WP:BLP, not deleting it seems to be the sensible decision. --Deryck C. 13:48, 4 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No notability for this person outside a few local news sites, with nothing significant but local interest pieces LookAliveSunshine! (talk) 23:36, 20 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep His notability, if not particularly strong, is/was clearly national so far as Ireland is concerned, even if most (not all) of the sources are local. PWilkinson (talk) 09:47, 21 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

- Comment - the AfD notice had been removed from the article, I reinstated it.--70.80.234.163 (talk) 03:29, 27 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - there is some independent coverage but I don't think it's significant enough to warrant his own article. It's local, not particularly in depth, and the achievements are pretty run-of-the-mill (two non-notable award nominations and presidency of a barely notable organization from which notability is not inherited).--70.80.234.163 (talk) 03:29, 27 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - A personal celebration, seemingly. Does not seem inclusion-worthy as either a politician or an activist. Carrite (talk) 14:25, 27 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete — Insufficient claims to notability. Appears to be a tribute page for local activist. Rms125a@hotmail.com (talk) 15:51, 27 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Seems a local activist with no inherent notability. At the risk of a pun, WP:NOTINHERITED applies to this article. --Whiteguru (talk) 09:16, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep Ireland as a small country relies heavily on local news coverage due to their high emphasis on local communities. The activist was a former national figure with strong public interest in his presidency. It is not usual for people of the activist's age to get such media coverage - local or national, which is why this article should be retained.
- Note: I moved the above "keep" comment to its proper place. He/she jumped the queue. Rms125a@hotmail.com (talk) 19:31, 29 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. He should get a mention on National Youth Organisation (Ireland) along with a list of other past presidents, but does not meet general notability threshold for an article yet. Neutralitytalk 05:43, 3 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
