Daniel O'Hara
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

fails WP:BIO. Those sources that do discuss him are either 1) unreliable or 2) and more commonly, intimately associated with him. The remaining sources do not discuss him, but instead his company; while this may be notable, notability is not inherited. Ironholds (talk) 19:36, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

 * I understand your objections since I had a great deal of trouble finding verifiable resources - which is partly why I am trying to write some articles. I've noticed that there is very little information in Wikipedia or on the web that I could find that in any way attempted to preserve the knowledge and information relative to the Life Insurance industry and evolution of the various systems and companies, I had hoped to author some. It would be a shame if this information was lost. The article on Mr. O'Hara was a manageable test case. He is a pioneer in this industry and prominent figure in the data migration circles which accounts for 100s of millions of dollars in annual revenues. I do have partial information from a book and several magazine articles I could cite but I have no way of linking them to anything online and so I view them as not verifiable. Should I add them? I was encouraged when I compared what I had to other bios (the one for my brother Tim Commerford, for example). I noticed that many contained few references and that often the ones that were provided were hardly authoritative. Before this article is deleted, can you give me some advice and an opportunity to improve it? Lcommerford (talk) 23:30, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
 * The books and magazines would be helpful, but such things have to be about O'Hara. Showing the notability of say, his company, would not be helpful. Ironholds (talk) 01:40, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
 * I will add the book and magazine references when I return after next week. I will also try to massage the content maybe to separate Daniel O'Hara from UCT. Thank you for your patience. Lcommerford (talk) 21:58, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

 * Relisting comment. The article is a BLP so a second relist is reasonable. --Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:23, 27 March 2010 (UTC)

 * Comment I have tagged this article for rescue. Hopefully we can get rid of the unnecessary sources and be left with things that do matter, though he does appear to be notable. Silver  seren C 02:25, 28 March 2010 (UTC)
