Thomas Broe (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Non-notable bio. While the article claims this person is an Irish politician, he is in fact a student. Zero google hits for "Thomas Broe" and "Fine Gail". This is linked with another article up for AfD The Jazztacular Adventures of Tommy Broe: Fat Chicks All Day All Night and they seem to be advertising each other.

In reference to the statement below, from a purported Irishman, I would like to point out in the article's defence that Thomas Broe is a member of mainstream Fine Gael, he is in fact a politician, as he is the head of Fine Gael's Laragh Brranch, a sub-division of the Bailieborough administrative region. He is also strongly active in politics in Trinity College in Dublin, and has participated in many debates both in Cavan, and in Dublin. Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that Thomas Broe is a politician, and the article should remain. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dariosanchez15 (talkcontribs)

He is a student who is interested in politics...that doesn't make him a politician. With a grand total of zero google hits, he doesn't appear to be notable anyway. IrishGuy talk 19:46, 3 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No, he is a politician. He holds a position in the Fine Gael hierarchy. And just because he doesn't appear on Google, does not make him unnotable. And exactly where from Ireland are you from, anyway? Because I've never seen Fine Gael spelt Fine Gail ... not the best at the auld English, are we?— Preceding unsigned comment added by Dariosanchez15 (talkcontribs)

I will remind you once more about the guidelines on civility. "Gail" was a typo. Being a student and joining Fine Gael doesn't make him a politician...it makes him a student that joined Fine Gael. He holds no governmental office. There are no sources, no references, nothing verifiable to make this person notable. IrishGuy talk 20:11, 3 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fine, I concede. I read your talk page and you make some pretty convincing points. The subject has to be notable now or in the past, so that's fine by me. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dariosanchez15 (talkcontribs)
