Eamonn Kelly (priest)

I first put a PROD tag on this article but it was immediately removed by the author, no changes have been made to the article. This seems to be a non notable priest, with no independent third party refs/sources. I can find no evidence to make me feel this should remain. Paste Talk 21:17, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete - No third party sources, doesn't meet wp:creative. Couldn't find anything via google - though it does seem to be a very common name in Ireland. Amazon.co.uk shows one self-published book. --Omarcheeseboro (talk) 21:40, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Reply: I don't see anything in those articles to establish notability. Either can't find the subject or trivia coverage --Omarcheeseboro (talk) 22:21, 1 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete Non-notable author of self-published quasi-selfhelp books. Doesn't come close to passing WP:CREATIVE. Couldn't find a single reliable and notable source. Trusilver  22:36, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Comment Also, I can't help but notice that the author of the article (who has registered a 'keep' !vote twice) and two IP addresses with no contributions whatsoever make the the entirety of the "keep" positions. Trusilver  01:16, 4 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Reply - I see...but life is full of major coincidences. I think this will pass as a minor one.--Balloholic (talk) 16:50, 4 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Reply - If you're not familiar with wp:sock puppet, you may want to take a look. --Omarcheeseboro (talk) 17:22, 4 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete - Not notable, fails WP:BIO. I also not that the creator of this article has voted twice to keep it. And out of the blue 2 anon IPs have just happened to stumble across this deletion discussion. Methinks a checkuser request may be in order. Snappy (talk) 07:51, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
