[edit] Eoin Pattison

Eoin Pattison (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

According to an anon's edit summary: "lacks notability related to Irish politicians and didn't get selected himself- and thats it. not widely known in ireland" I concur. The polician was never elected, but was a candidate who lost in the elections. Sr13 11:35, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

• Delete per nom and per precedent for losers of local elections. In this scenario, history really is written by the winners. :) YechielMan 16:33, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

• Keep, normally I would agree with you guys, but since he is a third generation of a political family running for office, I must say to keep it.. In this case I do think he is notable. Callelinea 02:31, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
• Delete as per Sr13 and Yechielman. Being related to a politician is not per se notability, except -- possibly -- being a nobleman. He's a hole in the ground. Bearian 18:41, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
• Delete, insufficient notability in his own right. NawlinWiki 00:27, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
• Delete, if he had got election to the Dail I would have said keep - he didnt therefore delete as he is not notable.--Vintagekits 17:06, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
