This article was previously listed for speedy deletion, but he depth of the hoax was expanded claim notability. No such person exists. All the cited sources go to top-level domains. And "Tosca, the Opera", please!!! — Blue-Haired Lawyer 10:37, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Btw, there is actually someone called Patrick J. Donnelly but he's not an actor. — Blue-Haired Lawyer 10:40, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Ok it appears there is a Patrick J.Donnelly! But I still think the article deserves to be deleted as non-notable. — Blue-Haired Lawyer 12:48, 16 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete - I think this may not be a hoax - if you type "Donnelly" into the search box on the Spotlight website an entry does come up, but it only gives the address of the casting agency. My reason to delete is that the parts listed - "Irish peasant." "Soldier in firing squad," "Stand-in double" etc. - are too minor to give notability. JohnCD (talk) 20:42, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete on notabilty grounds per JohnCD. I don't think it is a hoax, to be honest. The section on his service in the Irish army (I presume) is completely unsourced of course, but it does sound entirely plausible for someone serving in the Lebanon as part of UNIFIL, as many Irish soldiers of the time would have done. He is listed at Irish Equity. But unfortunately, it's his acting career that would be generate the reasons for inclusion here and the subject just doesn't seem to meet WP:N.

 * Delete - probably not a hoax, but a non notable actor. Snappy (talk) 08:47, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
 * WP:USERFY back to author at User:Norton3600/sandbox/Patrick J. Donnelly as he has specificaly stated on the article itself that he is new and needs time to bring it into line. Userfication will allow him the time. If it gets improved, it can come back. If not... well, he has shown the interest in learning and that is an appreciable quality. He may not know how or to whom or even what a userfication is. If it is userfied, he may need to be shown just where and how to continue working it.

 * For a living person? Assuming it's not a hoax that is! Don't get me wrong, I'm sure this Donnelly guy is a great lad but I really can't see him qualifying the notability criteria any time soon. — Blue-Haired Lawyer 12:37, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
