Insignificant coverage for WP:GNG and WP:BIO. Of the sources in the article, one is mostly a primary source interview, the BBB page has no useful information, and the last focuses primarily on Fore River Shipyard with only a trivial mention of Quirk. All other sources focus primarily on Quirk's businesses (rather than himself) and provide little biographical information or indication of significance beyond owning a few small car dealerships and part of a shipyard (also largely used for his businesses).

Delete Note: In the history there are at least 3 SPA's that created and worked on the article: User:Sean_boogs User:Dodgers baseball 9 User:Mwallacester. It has been heavily edited by others to remove promotional material, much to their credit. Other than the same one-line quote in four different local newspapers, the only other thing I find about him is a lawsuit won against him for having an unsafe property, which does not appear in the article although it was brought in 2019. Probably not promotional enough? Lamona (talk) 21:08, 29 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
