The result was Merge to Provisional IRA East Tyrone Brigade. —Quarl (talk) 2007-02-14 02:13Z

Update: I am invalidating the results of this AFD due to sockpuppetry (see Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/O'Donoghue). Since Patrick Kelly has since become a disambiguation page, the original page has been history-split to Patrick Joseph Kelly. If anybody is still in favor of deleting or merging this article, please open a new AFD. —Quarl (talk) 2007-04-04 12:21Z

[edit] Patrick Kelly

Patrick Kelly (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Delete: Non-notable; basically same boilerplate background as six of the eight men killed at Loughgall, except Padraig McKearney and Jim Lynagh. The other six should be consolidated on one page, perhaps Loughall.El chulito 13:52, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Comment - firstly, you state delete but then recommend "merge", secondly, Kelly was the commander of this unit therefore more important than the two you have already mentioned and finally, Kelly was involved in a lot more than just the Loughall Ambush so where do you propose to hold all those details aswell?--Vintagekits 01:59, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Strong keep. Meets several inclusion criteria from WP:BIO.GiollaUidir 11:32, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete or merge with other five IRA men with "boilerplate" (as it was put by another editor) histories. There is nothing notable about this individual.Inthegloaming 14:21, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment: If as mentioned above, this man did more than just die at Loughall, then it needs to be properly stated in the article and backed up with reliable sources. If this can't be done then he should be merged into an overall article about the Loughall ambush/skirmish.--Jackyd101 02:06, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep or merge to Provisional IRA East Tyrone Brigade. The article can be expanded as there is a reliable source for his activity prior to his death, Big Boys' Rules by Mark Urban which is already used as a source for the East Tyrone Brigade article. Merging is probably the better option, as the book details the activities of the group far more than individual members. One Night In Hackney 10:43, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

Delete or merge as per other Loughall dead articles. Jdorney 12:54, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep, I remember this guy from my time in Ireland.SlideAndSlip 20:30, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete or merge/redirect: non-notable. P.S. I am offended that a moronic comment like that of User:SlideAndSlip is still standing. It should have been deleted by an admin as garbage.Conrad Falk 23:34, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
