Bernard O'Rourke

If you look at the database you will find both names used, In all records of voting in the house he appears as Bernard O'Rourke. In the book about him Inniskeen 1912-1918 (The Political perspective of Bernard O'Rourke} by Terence Dooley Four Courts press he isnt called Brian. MCC records show him as Bernard. I presume Brian was an Irish version of Bernard. I do know he called his son Brian but his grandson is called Bernard. His headstone reads Bernard. Im presently doing a page on him and I thought it made more sense to change here than put in a redirect.

Fine and please sign your posts in future. Snappy (talk) 16:49, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

Thanks and apologies for oversight on signing. He was a pro treaty Sinn Fein member and afterwards a member of Cumann na nGaedhael and Fine Gael so is the description independent right? Cathar11 (talk) 18:07, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

The oireachtas db describes him as independent from 1922-28 and then nothing for the remainder. The oireachtas db is sometimes wrong or incomplete, so if you have info that he was pro-Treaty SF/CnaG/FG then he can be entered as such for the appropriate times.

John Bailey (Irish politician)

Just a friendly heads up on John Bailey (Irish politician). You prodded this article a couple of months ago, and it's now been restored as a contested prod. Given that it's been prodded twice, I've suggested to the editor who asked for restoration that they talk to you about your concerns. (See Wikipedia:Requests_for_undeletion/Current_requests#John_Bailey_.28Irish_politician.29). If you still think he's not notable, feel free to take to AfD. Cheers! --Fabrictramp | talk to me 11:43, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

I'm very surprised you restored this article. It's about a non notable local politician, one of over 1500 local councillors in Ireland, 99.9% of whom have no claims to fame outside there immediate locality. I will certainly be AFD'ing it. Snappy (talk) 11:52, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

Restoring contested prods, even after they have been deleted, is considered an uncontroversial restoration and usually done simply on request. The idea is that if someone is objecting, even months later, it's not a suitable candidate for prod. Cheers! --Fabrictramp | talk to me 18:23, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

Fair enough. I have AFD'ed it anyway. Snappy (talk) 18:27, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

Do you want to discuss this before nominating for AFD? MoyrossLADY (talk) 11:59, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

No, already done, please discuss it at AFD. Snappy (talk) 12:04, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

Mark Dearey

Is this local politician notable. Should you propose Mark Dearey for afd too. Its been Prod recently for the second time.Cathar11 (talk) 18:49, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

IMHO, he is not notable, unless you count being only one of 3 green party councillors and retaining his seat in 2009 local elections (which I don't). The prod was contested so you can't prod it again but you will have to AFD it. Also, most of the article is a cut and paste job from his green party website bio. Anyway, there are far too many of these non notable local councillor articles being created by their family, friends, supporters and party activists. I have nominated 3 of them recently.

Stop harassing me. Snappy (talk) 13:10, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

I don't believe I am. You have systematically blanked comments of mine here and at Talk:Joe Higgins. I ask only two things of you: firstly, that you explain your sock/meatpuppet/city boy description of me and secondly, that you explain your blanking of my and others' comments on the Higgins talk page. Look at your behaviour; who's harassing who? Lapsed Pacifist (talk) 13:17, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

You are still harassing me after I asked to stop in my previous comment. I don't answer to you. You are the one that has an RfE open against you, not me. Any further discussion will take place there NOT HERE. Snappy (talk) 13:20, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

You made a serious accusation about me. Will you be raising that issue at the RfE? Lapsed Pacifist (talk) 14:03, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

(e/c) I have restored the anon comment on Talk:Joe Higgins, as it includes opinion about the article at the time. this six month edit-war is mind boggling. Was it elevated to one of the noticeboards? It does not appear to have been. Anyway, you both need to put down the stick. If someone else wants to remove it again, it will be discussed at a noticeboard. --John Vandenberg ^(chat) 14:14, 11 December 2009 (UTC)
