Patrick U. Murphy

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The article creator is new to Wikipedia. I had placed a speedy deletion tag on it and he had removed it and politely asked me what the problem was. Rather than get into our policy about article creators removing speedy tags, I thought it best to respond to his concerns with a full discussion here.

Patrick U. Murphy was not a man without professional achievements. He witnessed a lot of history. He competed on behalf of Ireland as part of a fishing team. And was present as a youngster during an emergency landing of an aviator and took part in a commemorative ceremony many years later. Yet I don't believe he quite meets the rather specific criteria set out in WP:BASIC, unfortunately. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 17:34, 28 June 2015 (UTC)
