[edit] Pat McGinn

Pat McGinn (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

unreferenced sub-stub article on a non-notable local district councillor; fails WP:BIO. It has been tagged as a stub for two years, but unchanged for 18 months. BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 00:29, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

• Keep. Although google news results aren't hot, a web search hits a ton of things that look like news articles but aren't on the news search. That meets WP:BIO. --lifebaka (Talk - Contribs) 00:35, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
• Delete. Perhaps there is a lot of interesting news about mr. McGinn, but based on the information (mayors change regularly, and there are a LOT of councilors in Ireland) it does not meet WP:BIO. It seems unlikely that it will move from this state as it's been around for more than 2 years. If someone finds something notable, they can create the page again.

• Delete: A minor official from one of the major parties. Furthermore, the article is a substub, consisting merely of an identification. That's something for a phone book, not an encyclopedia. Utgard Loki (talk) 12:17, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
