The subject has won a lifetime award for input into film in Ireland but the article says no more about him nor is anything further to be found online in newspapers or similar. The only information seems to be that he was Vice President and General Manager of Buena Vista International (Ireland) and a great supporter of Irish film. 🍺 Antiqueight ^chat 16:15, 5 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep In addition to the award, I found this and this, which push it over the threshold for me. Vanamonde93 (talk) 16:29, 5 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I saw those but it seemed like it was just a guy who did his job for a long time and because his industry was media related the papers covered that he got an award as he retired. It didn't seem like there was any other reference other than that he got the award for being a good guy...I wasn't at all sure that was enough 🍺 Antiqueight ^chat 12:18, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The Irish Times article linked above makes notability perfectly clear. We judge notability by coverage in such independent reliable sources rather than personal guesswork about why topics might have received such coverage. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 21:32, 11 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Reliable sources have been found that provide significant coverage of this important figure in Irish film industry, an area that is under-represented.Atlantic306 (talk) 16:54, 12 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
