Procedural nom. Expired prod but the prod was contested (though never removed) with the rationale:
 * As it seems to be impossible to discuss the deletion of this article I would just like to point out the following facts. Shane O'Rorke has recently been promoted to the Dublin senior hurling team. This puts him on one of the premier hurling teams in the GAA. And to quote Wikipedia's page on the GAA "It is the largest and most popular organisation in Ireland with some 800,000 members out of the island's population of almost 6 million.[1] Gaelic football and Hurling are the main and most popular activities promoted by the organisation." For this reason I find it farcical and hugely contradictory that the page on Shane O'Rorke be deleted because he plays at an underage level of a minority sport.

I have no opinion on the matter. Pascal.Tesson 02:52, 26 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Comment If he has recently been made part of the senior hurling team, he is notable enough to have an article. However, I can't find anything online to say that he has and I don't follow hurling, so I can't say for sure. I'll notify WikiProject Gaelic Games of this AfD.

 * Delete I can find nothing verifiable to indicate notability. Cheers, :) Dloh cierekim  02:37, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment There are a couple of mentions out there that he has made it to the panel for the senior team, although he hasn't played yet and the season doesn't start until next year. Soooo.... The chances are that he will play (and that isn't that too much of a breach of CRYSTAL :O)), and he would pass WP:N then.  FlowerpotmaN &middot;(t) 00:28, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete with no prejudice to recreation in a few months time when the season starts, because at the moment there are no sources for thing that makes him notable. Bláthnaid  10:25, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
