Proposed deletion of Maurice Gaffney


The article Maurice Gaffney has been proposed for deletion. The proposed deletion notice added to the article should explain why.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.

Speedy deletion nomination of Maurice Gaffney


A tag has been placed on Maurice Gaffney requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Looks like and  don't read the Irish papers (hopefully they're not banging on about Brexit like a broken record like the UK ones!) - I've declined the speedy nomination and expanded the article from the Irish Independent obituary today and also used a piece in the Irish Times from earlier this year.

 * Apologies - yes, I'd missed the story and the initial draft gave no clue that the subject was claiming to be known for anything. Thanks for getting the article up to scratch. --McGeddon (talk) 17:55, 4 November 2016 (UTC)

Apologies all round
No worries, also my fault for not opening another browser tab to see if Gaffney had been in the news. Welcome to Wikipedia! --McGeddon (talk) 18:13, 4 November 2016 (UTC)

 Thanks for uploading File:CavanGAA-Logo.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
