Delete See Talk:Michael Muldoon. Tagged for notability for five years. Still hasn't been proved. Boleyn (talk) 18:19, 21 May 2012 (UTC)

 * Comment To other editors considering this deletion discusion, first of all, don't be misled by the stubby nature of the current article, this was at one point a 7000-character article.  I suggest editors considering this deletion discussion start with the talk page, Talk:Michael Muldoon, and with www.nationmaster.com/encyclopedia/Michael-Muldoon (FYI, this domain is on the Wikipedia blacklist).

 * Delete It seems likely that at the heart of this internet maelstrom is a real person.  There are definitely M. Muldoon's/Michael Muldoon's that play Gaelic football, ref.  As per the talk page, the original author asserts that the original material was "presented in the humourous nature of the character himself".  This "humorous" material lacks something we call inline citations to reliable references.  Regarding technical information available in history revisions, I could not find www.irishgaels.com in web.archive.org.  I looked up the ISBN for one of the two book references, and worldcat.org does not recognize it.  The other book was identified on the talk page with, "To the best of my knowledge the book was merely printed locally, not published."  So it may be sufficient to say as per the nutshell of WP:N that the "world at large" has not taken notice of this topic.  Unscintillating (talk) 01:17, 23 May 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete - I can find no coverage in reliable sources. He may exist, but we are lacking sources to establish notability, and in fact, we have some verifiability issues as well. -- Whpq (talk) 16:16, 24 May 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete - appears to be an amateur, at best. Glad someone nominated it for Afd! Student7 (talk) 14:43, 25 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete per nominator and five years are enough to prove notability if any --Ð ℬig XЯaɣ  10:21, 28 May 2012 (UTC)
