Seán Mór Seoighe

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

An ancestor of the author James Joyce and some other notables. The current sourcing is from a book about James Joyce's father. Various passing mentions can be found, all in the context of his descendants. I do not see significant coverage and feel the GNG is not met in this case. JohnmgKing (talk) 12:10, 8 August 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom, WP:NBIO, WP:INHERIT, WP:NOTGENEALOGY and WP:GNG. As noted, being a distant ancestor of the writer John Stanislaus Joyce (or his perhaps more famous son James Joyce) doesn't confer notability. And that seems to be the only claim to notability being made in the article. In terms of the sources, those in the article are entirely about the subject's descendants and the subject is only mentioned in passing (and then in very vague terms with conjecture and conflicting "family tradition[s]"). In terms of other sources, a book search or a journal search for the subject ONLY returns works/mentions which are substantively about the subject's notable descendants (with nothing that allows expansion beyond the short and uncertain prose we already have and the vague "exact relationship uncertain" WP:NOTGENEALOGY family tree - that doesn't appear to be supported by anything at all). This looks like (yet another) one of those WP:NOTEVERYTHING submissions from the article's original author that doesn't meet the project's criteria. Certainly having a notable great-great-great-great-great-great grandchild doesn't confer notability... Guliolopez (talk) 15:26, 8 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom and per Guliolopez. Spleodrach (talk) 16:36, 10 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete since subject fails WP:GNG. Guliolopez has nailed it. -The Gnome (talk) 17:31, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
