This is a biography of a living person which is unsourced, and after some searching, does not appear to meet notability. The article is a bit vague on its assertion of notability. The subject is the author of one book for which I cannot find any critical reviews and is held in 17 libraries worldwide. That doesn't appear to be a work of significant impact. The article also states he is a regular contributor to Ireland's Eye. I'm assuming the wikilink in the article was done in error and that really refers to this magazine. I can find no evidence support the assertion that he is contributor although I have no reason to doubt the assertion. However, being a contributor to a minor magazine is not notable, and especially so when there is no sourcing. The rest of the positions he holds are not notable either. In searching for soruces,, and are the best I am able to find. That us well short of what is needed to establish notability. Whpq (talk) 13:38, 2 August 2011 (UTC)
