[edit] Paddy Reilly (NUIG)

Paddy Reilly (NUIG) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Sole claim to fame is that he was president of the students' union at National University of Ireland, Galway. Student politicians aren't mentioned in WP:BIO or Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Precedents#People, but the lack of external published works makes him non-notable in my opinion.

• Delete - And I was my senior class president. And, so was somebody for every college verywhere most likley. WAY too many people for articles that have little practical use. Chris Kreider 14:37, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

• Don't delete. Student politicians in Ireland exercise a lot of influence and predessors of Paddy Reilly include many Irish politicians and activists. Pat Rabbitte, Eamon Gilmore, Seamus Brennan, Michael O'Sheidhin (Shell to Sea) have all been involved in the Galway Students Union, Gilmore, Rabitte and O'Sheidhin as President.

Yes, but they're in wikipedia because of what they did afterwards, not for being student politicians. yandman 11:15, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

• Don't delete - The WP:BIO says "Political figures holding or who have held international, national or statewide/provincewide office, and members and former members of a national, state or provincial legislature." Surely Mr. Reilly's being a Senator [1], as of right, of the National University of Ireland qualifies in the former category? - Fresher fan!

"national" here means "relating to the governance of the nation". Or else I could be included as being a member of an international organisation yandman 13:46, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

right. so you just want ure friends on here, yeah? typical.being an elected member of the Senate of the largest university in Ireland is worthy of note in itself,nevermind it being paddy reilly. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 140.203.7.37 (talk • contribs)

If Mr Reilly really is that notable, then you should have no difficulty producing the "multiple independent non-trivial published works about him" specified by WP:BIO. Demiurge 14:06, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

• Comment. By the way, this isn't a vote, so there's no point in vote-spamming. yandman 13:47, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. No assertions of notability that are verified by "reliable, third-party published sources" (see WP:Verify). -- Satori Son 21:08, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, student politics are not notable in themselves. Nuttah68 19:09, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
