 * – ( View AfD View log )

Non-notable local politician. In terms of WP:NPOL, local politicians in Ireland do not meet the criteria (a city councillor is not an "international, national, or [..] state/province–wide office"). In terms of WP:GNG, the subject is no more notable than any other city councillor. Within the article, the content ("subject said X", "subject is against illegal dumping", "subject is concerned about speeding") is ROTM stuff we'd expect for any local politician and is supported by the same ROTM/passing-mention coverage we'd expect for any other local politician. (The sources used to support some of the claims ["subject contributed once to his own party's web magazine", "subject self-describes as a socialist"] are weak; at best.) Outside the article, I can find no independent/in-depth coverage where the subject is the primary topic of that coverage. A search in the Irish Times for example just returns the same "local politician made a statement about X" or "local politician was asked a question about Y" stuff we might expect for any other similar local office holder.

 * Delete: there is virtually nothing written that makes him notable, so does not pass WP:GNG per nom. ww2censor (talk) 21:49, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom - Fails WP:NPOL, local councillor who does not meet criteria, also fails WP:Notability. Spleodrach (talk) 13:07, 22 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete. Cork, while lovely, is not a global city for the purposes of securing the "inherent" notability of its city councillors under WP:POLOUTCOMES, and the sourcing is not achieving the depth, range or volume needed to make him more special than most other city councillors.

 * Delete per nom. While a slight case could've previously been made for Tynan being notable as the Worker's Party's only elected representative, it appears this is no longer the case as of a few days ago. So yeah, seems alright to delete. ser! (chat to me - see my edits) 16:33, 25 April 2021 (UTC)
