Recreation of previously deleted article on non notable local councillor. Per WP:POLITICIAN simply being a member of a local council is not sufficient to establish notability. A search for third party refs covering Tynan in detail fail to show up anything, so with a lack of coverage in 3rd party sources, he also fails WP:GNG Valenciano (talk) 21:13, 18 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Comment In his field, the relevant sources certainly seem to consider him a notable individual. Coverage of Tynan in Irish broadsheets: Irish Examiner, Irish Times, Irish Independent.  Skomorokh   21:19, 18 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep Claim of notability is for more than election to city council. Also noted for civil disobedience and party activism.  Add more sources, but don't delete. Cullen328 (talk) 22:01, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
