 * Comment. My recommendation, in the 2009 AfD, was "delete". While I have not yet (re-assessed) sources and undertaken a more complete WP:BEFORE, a review of the edit history and content (as was at the time of nomination) highlights the same concerns raised back then. That the article still reads as overt promotion, of the type described in WP:G11. (An article created with a promotional intent and "that are exclusively promotional and would need to be fundamentally rewritten to serve as encyclopedia articles, rather than advertisements".)

 * Keep: Looking at the article, there seems to be no reason to delete this as Edna is notable and the article contains independent references. If the article has been extensively edited by the subject or by someone close to the subject, the article can be edited to rectify this. Rillington (talk) 14:22, 8 January 2022 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Keep Meets WP:BIO per Rillington's argument. SBKSPP (talk) 01:57, 19 January 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete. While the article has multiple cited sources, only one of them is a reliable secondary source, the article in the Sunday Business Post - and that only mentions Mr. Caldwell in passing in the 8th paragraph. The Radio Luxembourg citation is a primary citation - Radio Luxembourg is where Mr. Caldwell worked.  radio waves.fm is in fact repeating an article from the Meath Chronicle. While the article discusses Mr. Caldwell at some length (he is a native of Co. Meath), the Meath Chronicle is about as local a newspaper as you can get in Ireland, now that the Skibbereen Eagle is defunct, and certainly isn't a significant national or regional media publication.  I couldn't find other sources that would improve on the sourcing of the article either. Fiachra10003 (talk) 03:36, 26 January 2022 (UTC)
