Pat Heffernan

Non-notable individual, no reliable secondary sources about the individual, does not meet WP:ATHLETE exception to WP:N. 2008Olympian^chitchat 19:32, 3 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Keep Definitely meets WP:ATHLETE, no sources is not a valid reason to delete an article, should be tagged as unreferenced. It appears the nominator has nominated a collection of Irish related articles with little knowledge of the sports in general. Jenuk1985 | Talk 19:36, 3 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- I ask that this nom be withdrawn and the article be tagged with {{unreferenced}} or {{refimprove}} as appropriate instead. I can find no reason in WP:DEL for this page to be nominated. Jenuk1985 | Talk 20:09, 3 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Jenuk, but because of BLP requirements, it needs to be rewritten with some sources very soon. And could all these hurling AfDs not have been grouped?! ╟─Treasury Tag►contribs─╢ 20:11, 3 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The article definitely needs some references, but independent of this the subject does meet WP:N. FlyingToaster 20:17, 3 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep As per WP:GAA guidelines ,WP:ATH and the above Gnevin (talk) 21:53, 3 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Notable under WP:ATH. ManfromDelmonte (talk) 02:19, 4 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Verifiably meets WP:ATHLETE's conferment of notability on an athlete who plays at this highest level of a sport, because inter-county matches are the highest level of GAA competition. Note that I have just deleted most of the article's content per WP:BLP and WP:V#Burden_of_evidence. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 14:36, 4 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment I've undone your edits to the article because 1. WP:BLP states that only contentious unsourced material needs to be removed and 2. You have to put a warning box at the top of the article for a set period of time stating that more references are need in line with WP:V#Burden_of_evidence. I can find no justification for your actions under either of the above wikipedia criteria. ManfromDelmonte (talk) 14:50, 4 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  - Reply. WP:V#Burden_of_evidence merely notes that some editors may object, but does not specify any period of time, nor does it require that a warning box be provided. It clearly says that "The burden of evidence lies with the editor who adds or restores material", which is now you. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 16:00, 4 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep He is a notable athlete who has played at the highest level of his sport. He is most certainly notable at a national level. Derry Boi (talk) 10:26, 5 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Jenuk. More refs added. MuffledThud (talk) 17:49, 6 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as improved. Seems notable enough. Stifle (talk) 19:24, 6 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
