 * George Gilmore was an important political figure on the Republican left in Ireland in the 1920s and 1930s. I therefore oppose deletion. The fact that this article is a stub is no reason to delete it. --Mia-etol (talk) 16:57, 5 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep No sources? - There's an obit, there are cites to 10 pages of J. Bowyer Bell's book. These are reliable and independent sources, with real coverage.John Z (talk) 22:16, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep. I'm puzzled by the nom, because this article seems well sourced. Also lots of gnews hits.-- Fabrictramp |  talk to me  23:10, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. Meets WP:BIO. Meets WP:VER. Intro could do with expanding, but otherwise seems an OK stub. Guliolopez (talk) 23:22, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Strong keep Reasonably well sourced (although, for God's sake, WHY do people insist on one-sentence leads?!), seems to easily meet WP:BIO. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 23:32, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment I don't think there's anyone out there shortening leads, at least not a significant number. It's just that most articles aren't long enough for one that's much longer than a sentence. In fact it's more common for an article to start with no lead at all. --Dhartung | Talk 04:33, 6 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep, notability demonstrated by sources. --Dhartung | Talk 04:33, 6 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep, Notability is established, with notable coverage from independent sources. --Domer48 (talk) 10:16, 6 July 2008 (UTC)
