Daire Nolan (politician)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Nolan is a newly elected member of Wicklow County Council, and as a local councillor who has never held national office, he is not notable and fails WP:Politician. He has not achieved national prominence in any other area to merit an article. From the wealth of personal detail without references (exact date of birth, mother's occupation, he likes Taekwondo), this article is obviously self-authored (User:DazMarz1988), so its really just a vanity, puff piece for a non notable local councillor. Note that there are 949 local councillors in the Republic of Ireland. Snappy (talk) 16:52, 8 July 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete. Members of county councils are not inherently notable. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:38, 9 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Question Do county councils count as top-level sub-national legislative bodies or as local legislative bodies in Ireland, I though we allowed top-level sub-national legislature members?John Pack Lambert (talk) 15:01, 10 July 2014 (UTC)
 * No, they don't. In common with most other countries, Ireland has no sub-national legislative bodies. This only applies to states and provinces in a handful of countries which have genuine devolved government, not just to local authorities. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:18, 10 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete – Nolan has not done anything notable yet. He has merely become a first-time council member and as such does not warrant inclusion in the encyclopaedia. — O'Dea  (talk) 10:56, 11 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete Since position does not count as a sub-national one.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:26, 11 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete - One of 32 members of an Irish county council, so an elected politician. Perhaps a more substantial role than an American county commissioner but the fact that the county seat has a population of 10,000 or so indicates to me that this particular case doesn't clear the SNG high bar for politicians.
