Cannot find any better sources. 10 pageviews in 30 days for a UK BLP is very low, and indicative of a lack of notability. Fails WP:GNG. Edwardx (talk) 17:51, 13 September 2022 (UTC)

 * Weak Keep I found a few references better than the ones in the article. There's this from the British Council. It is a blog post, but not an individual blogger. There is a film about fashion featuring him. There is a short description here: "The Irish designers everyone will be watching at London Fashion Week. (2017, September 16). Irish Examiner (All Ireland)." Other than that I came across interviews and a few name checks. Lamona (talk) 18:33, 13 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment Blogs are not reliable sources, per WP:BLOGS. And it is not a "film", it is a 1:28m YouTube video. Neither counts towards WP:GNG. Edwardx (talk) 18:29, 16 September 2022 (UTC)

 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Reply See WP:NEWSBLOG - it distinguishes between self-published blogs and those that come under the editorial control of a reliable organization. Also, lots of things are on youtube including, for example, President Biden's speech captured by CSPAN. I don't think we would reject that because it has been added to youtube. The thing to look at is editorial control and reliability, not just the platform. Lamona (talk) 20:30, 23 September 2022 (UTC)

 * Keep per WP:GNG. For example, see Vogue Italia 2010 (featuring Lawlor and his 2010/11 fall/winter collection) and Business Post (Ireland) 2013 (featured alongside 12 other Irish designers). He got a paragraph in the 2017 Irish Examiner preview of London Fashion Week, and his 2011 collaboration with Welsh designer Jayne Pierson fusing "his" knitwear with "her" leather to create a new textile was featured in Wales Online. There is also this 2012 Daily Telegraph article on his exhibition at the Fashion Space Gallery at LCF, which is paywalled. Cielquiparle (talk) 10:08, 29 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep- per the sources like this and above as satisfies WP:GNG.  Suryabeej      ⋠talk⋡    10:13, 3 October 2022 (UTC)
