WP:N--can't find reliable, secondary sources providing in-depth coverage of this priest, nor do I see claims that demonstrate inherent notability. The very common name is an obstacle to finding sources, so, as always, additional sources are welcome. joe deckertalk to me 18:55, 12 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment - I don't see any notability outside of the incident with which he was involved. Perhaps a merger to Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter is in order. Bearian (talk) 20:57, 12 April 2011 (UTC)

 * Comment If someone can't come up with a single reference for this URBLP, merging is the least drastic outcome appropriate. Jclemens (talk) 00:43, 13 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete due to a lack of notability and reliable sources. I see a few google hits, but all they tell me is that he belongs to the FSSP and is based is Edinburgh. StAnselm (talk) 06:26, 14 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete I thought he might be notable as one of the founding priests of the PFSP, but I could find no verification of that claim so I think a redirect is not appropriate. --MelanieN (talk) 15:10, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
