Michael O'Brien (AAA politician)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non notable local politician. CivisHibernius (talk) 14:19, 18 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Uncertain. The question is whether the Dublin City Council of 63 members is sufficiently important that it meets the requirements of WP:POLITICIAN.  DGG ( talk ) 00:47, 25 February 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete - Fails WP:Politician and fails WP:GNG. Irish county and city councillors of which there are almost 1,000, do not meet notability guidelines for politicians. Being an anti water charges protester is not notable, as he not not a leader of this campaign. Spleodrach (talk) 17:51, 25 February 2016 (UTC)
 * delete I don't see how being one of 63 council members in a city with a pop. of ~500,000 can make each of them notable for that status (even if it is Dublin).  Nor do I see any profiles or articles that are about him, or that deal with his career in a substantive way.  And although one of the sourced may call hi a leading light, his fame does not burn bright enough to get him a  mention on the  page Anti-Austerity Alliance.E.M.Gregory (talk) 18:51, 25 February 2016 (UTC)
