Mulloy Brothers

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I couldn't establish that they meet WP:NBAND or WP:GNG. This has been tagged for notability for 7 years (hopefully we can now resolve this. Boleyn (talk) 06:45, 15 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment-While I'm not sure either-the article seems pretty tragic about what happened to them. Wgolf (talk) 15:23, 15 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete: I can't find significant coverage in reliable sources to prove that they meet WP:NBAND or WP:GNG.Fisheriesmgmt (talk) 17:39, 15 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep as the tenure of the band suggests they will be in lots of offline Irish news sources that nobody reading this AfD can find ... but if you can't bear this article to exist, then merge / redirect to Mulranny (where they are already mentioned) as the group have appeared in the local news multiple times over several decades, including the two news sources I've just added.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Keep - Finding sources for 60s/70s/80s related articles are next to none impossible to find, which is why on articles like these alot of leeway is given, Had this been a 2014 band then yeah it'd be completely different, Anyway personally see no point in redirecting/merging either. – Davey 2010 Talk 14:01, 22 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep per Davey2010. A HighBeam search yields a 2005 article in the Sunday Mirror that refers to them as "Mayo's famous balladeers", a story about Martin Mulloy's fatal 2010 boating accident in the Daily Mirror , and briefer mentions of the accident in the Irish Times  and Daily Mail . --Arxiloxos (talk) 15:02, 22 April 2015 (UTC)
