I don't think he meets WP:BIO or WP:GNG. Boleyn (talk) 18:29, 30 July 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: To consider article changes as outlined by Atlantic.
 * Delete: No hard evidence of the same has been presented, anyway. There is a long list of "additional sources" that aren't reflected in the text of the article, and I take it with a grain of salt, given that there are almost as many as there are sentences in the article. WP still isn't a memorial, and there is no evidence the subject meets WP:AUTHOR either.  (So he purportedly has works still in print. *I* have that much, and I don't qualify for an article either.)

 * Delete: It seems he's more known as Tip O'Neill's childhood priest than as an author. A Google Search returns almost nothing of value, an I can't imagine that the sourced books are anything more than just passing mentions considering most seem to be either bios of O'Neill or lists of Catholic authors.

 * Keep Worldcat shows he has 2200 library holdings here which is significant, he also has been published by major publishers and received several national awards. I don't see this as a memorial as he died in 1957. There are plenty of reviews referenced in the article so there is a clear pass of WP:GNG. The reviews and other references were added on 1 August after the above votes were made, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 00:27, 2 August 2021 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Daniel (talk) 19:44, 6 August 2021 (UTC) Hi, do you think he passes WP:GNG now with the many extra references that have been added to the article? regards Atlantic306 (talk) 23:16, 7 August 2021 (UTC)
 * That's a really impressive amount of work, user:Atlantic306. I think I'm convinced. Boleyn (talk) 19:55, 8 August 2021 (UTC)


 * Keep as improved. BD2412  T 21:31, 8 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep as this now appears to pass both GNG and WP:AUTHOR. Mccapra (talk) 01:51, 13 August 2021 (UTC)
