Poorly sourced (it was actually attempting to get away with some Facebook sourcing, until I yanked that) WP:BLP of a person notable only for serving on a county-level council, which is not a role that satisfies WP:NPOL. While admittedly a few of his colleagues on South Dublin County Council do have Wikipedia articles, those few all have some other claim of notability, such as having previously been an Olympic athlete or a Teachta Dála — and that covers a grand total of four members on a council of 40. Besides this guy, the other 35 members of the council, the ones for whom the council itself is the crux of their notability as it is here, do not have Wikipedia articles. Also dead-cert WP:COI, if you compare the creator's username (User:Cllrclondalkin) to the name of the district that the topic is "cllr" for. Delete. Bearcat (talk) 23:13, 16 March 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete Being a member of the County Council is not sufficient to meet WP:POLITICIAN unless they have received significant coverage. The only coverage I can find is of him calling for things to happen, or proposing motions, not any actual significant coverage of him, so I cannot see how the article can pass the notability guidelines.

 * Delete per Davewild. Apparent autobio of an otherwise non-notable local politician.  -- Finngall   talk  22:55, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete - Fails WP:POLITICIAN and has not received significant coverage per WP:GNG. A standard county councillor who is not notable. Snappy (talk) 21:09, 18 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete Seems like run of the mill coverage about a local politician but does not meet WP:POLITICIAN. Mkdw talk 19:04, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
