No indication of notability. This article (previously created/deleted under the title "Christopher Patrick Burke") is one of a series of articles of almost everyone in the Burke family (as previously consolidated in the now-deleted Burkes of Duleek Street entry). While WP:NOTGENEALOGY, WP:NOTMEMORIAL, and WP:NOTINHERITED issues are broadly evident, in terms of the specific notability guidelines, the main claims to notability here seem to be that the subject:

was involved in the GAA. While there is no specific guideline for administrators in the GAA, a series of recent AfD's have confirmed a general consensus that being an administrator (at club or even county level) doesn't confer notability. WP:NGAELIC is otherwise not met. At all.
was a good dancer. And won one amateur competition. While there is no specific guideline for Irish dancers, WP:ENTERTAINER is not met.
was involved in a local debating society and "Commercial Reading Rooms". Which don't contribute to notability.
had a well attended funeral. Which, while perhaps indicative of some regard locally (and/or perhaps representative of the subject's death at a relatively young age), doesn't contribute to WP:ANYBIO.

That we are relying on obituaries and two passing mentions raises significant WP:GNG concerns. A WP:BEFORE search returns next to no additional sources. Guliolopez (talk) 12:32, 27 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom, no evidence at all of any notability. Only reason for creation is being an ancestor of the article creator, who seems to think all his ancestors deserve Wikipedia articles. Spleodrach (talk) 14:51, 27 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
