Anne Brolly[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Non notable local councillor whose only claim to fame is being Mayor of a small council (pop:34,000). WP:POLITICIAN does allow "Major local political figures who have received significant press coverage.... A politician who has received "significant press coverage" has been written about, in depth, independently in multiple news feature articles, by journalists." This type of in depth coverage is lacking in Brolly's case and she has not held any kind of statewide office. Valenciano (talk) 20:28, 20 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep. She's gotten involved in a fair number of reported disputes[1][2][3][4][5] it seems. Clarityfiend (talk) 22:23, 20 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Does not sound like a major local political figure. RadManCF (talk) 23:48, 20 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per the references mentioned. Certainly notable as a politican; possibly also notable as a musician. - Eastmain (talk • contribs) 00:19, 21 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Weak delete - not notable through being a councillor or mayor. Some press coverage, but mostly just quotes on local matters, some which mention her as a parent of Joe Brolly. Few, if any, could be described as "in depth". Does not appear to have received any significant coverage of her music. Warofdreams talk 00:54, 21 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: as per the references mentioned. Notable. - Ret.Prof (talk) 16:47, 27 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, subject got just over 1000 votes. Article make no claim of notability; article reads like a disjointed collection of minor news blurbs. Abductive (reasoning) 03:44, 29 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
