Kate Feeney

 * – ( View AfD View log  (2nd Nomination) Stats )

Non-notable local politician. Feeney holds a position as a county councillor, with no evidence of ever having held any more significant office. Feeney received some media coverage a year ago in connection with her association with Mary Hanafin this coverage was a once off and does not mark subject as notable.

 * Delete. County councillor is not a position that automatically satisfies WP:NPOL, so she's not entitled to keep an article just because she exists — and the "internal party fight" just makes her a WP:BLP1E, so the article is not making a sufficient claim of notability to deem her more notable than the norm.

 * Keep Feeney was first elected president of Fianna Fail youth wing, first female also elected to position. Aside from battle of Blackrock as referenced above she has achieved notability from her work as president as the youth wing of Ireland's main opposition party. She was profiled in the Irish Independent . — Preceding unsigned comment added by Reggiegal (talk • contribs) 00:05, 15 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Being president of a political party's youth wing, even if one is the first person of colour, woman or LGBT person to hold that position, is not a claim that satisfies WP:NPOL in and of itself. Thousands of people around the world have held such a role without qualifying for a Wikipedia article. Bearcat (talk) 18:29, 18 June 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete per Bearcat. Snappy (talk) 18:28, 15 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete - per Bearcat and Quirinus X. Doesn't meet WP:POLITICIAN or SIGCOV requirement under WP:GNG. If in future seeks/attains higher office may be scope recreation - until then also possibly a case of WP:TOOSOON. Guliolopez (talk) 22:44, 17 June 2015 (UTC)
