I noticed this article from a couple of days ago. Can you verify what is said through the use of reliable sources? You might take a look at WP:V and WP:RS. This is very important.  Jody B talk 02:03, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Ok, a couple of things:
 * The two external links are identical although the address is different the content is the same. One probably needs to go. Neither can count as a reliable source since it is not independent of the firm which he owns.
 * The link to the Ireland Law Society is reliable I guess but it only establishes that he is an attorney/solicitor.
 * The article makes no assertion of notability. In other words, what has he done that makes him special. Lawyers are a dime a dozen, so are people with a master's degree. What you need is something that sets him apart from all the other attorneys. It is that material which must be well sourced from multiple, non-trivial sources. Take a close look at WP:RS and WP:V again. Also, review WP:N. I'm sure this guy is a good person and probably a heck of an attorney but he needs be notable too. The reason is that we (wikipedia) aims to be more than just a collection of information. You might look and see what coverage he has had in the major newspapers in the area. Such might meet the notability test.
 * I notice that this is the only article you have worked on. May I ask what your relationship is to the subject?

I have removed the unreferenced tag from the article. I will check back in a week or so and see how you've done. If nothing changes I think we will have to suggest it be deleted. In the meantime, I am happy to help you with any questions you may have. If he is indeed notability we want him to have his place here. Thanks!  Jody B talk 14:29, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

Hi, In relation to your comment on Declan J. O'Connell, I have placed a reference to the Law Society of Ireland. I trust that this is what is required. Many thanks, "RPM ie 11:25, 11 June 2007 (UTC)"

I notice that you have recreated and reposts the article without providing any real claim to notability. Thus I have tagged it as a repost. As far as I'm concerned JodyB's questions above are still outstanding. Blowdart 13:16, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
