Article has been tagged as unsourced sine 2008(!). NewspaperArchive.com and Newspapers.com turned up zero results, while ProQuest turned up an unrelated real estate agent, soccer player, and photographer. Seems to be an obituary, likely written by a family member or friend. ThadeusOfNazereth(he/him)Talk to Me! 17:03, 31 August 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete. Unsourced, and the name in Ireland is about as common as Smith is elsewhere. Anyone and everyone pops up in a search. No sourcing. Oaktree b (talk) 17:49, 31 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom, WP:ANYBIO and WP:GNG. A search for sources to support the main "claims to fame" (Involved in diving? Partner at PWC? Liquidator of a company that was a defendant in a court case? Associated with an assisted living facility?) do not return anything substantive. The subject is barely mentioned in relation to the court case for example. Far far below a SIGCOV threshold. And I can find nothing at all in relation to diving or elder charities. About the only thing that might contribute to notability is the claimed entry in Who's Who in Ireland: The Influential 1000. However, while I don't have a copy or immediate access to one, this work is billed as a "directory". And, at barely 230 pages and seemingly containing 1000 entries (averaging perhaps 5 entries per page), it seems unlikely that it contains more than a few lines on the subject. The WP:NOTGENEALOGY, WP:NOTADVOCACY and apparent WP:COI overtones (associated with the article's creation) do little to help. Am frankly kinda surprised this article has not been deleted before now... Guliolopez (talk) 19:41, 31 August 2023 (UTC)
