Catholic priest of below bishop rank. WP:MILL biography, no indication of meeting WP:GNG. Cited coverage is passing mentions or dead links. Sandstein 09:54, 24 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

~~delete~~ - not enough coverage to pass WP:GNG. Störm (talk) 14:45, 24 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Content, including context, suggests notability. It does need an update and clean-up, but leans towards notability. Chicbyaccident (talk) 13:19, 25 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
weak keep the rather questionable phrasing leads me to believe he was the rector of St. Patrick's, a position of at least some significance, and he seems to have played a significant role in it's history. That ain't much, admittedly, but it might be enough for marginally qualifying as notable. John Carter (talk) 20:00, 26 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete he was a local parish preist and involved in founding a high school, this is not the stuff notability is made of.John Pack Lambert (talk) 05:25, 27 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Being a rector of a seminary and a principal of a school is notable enough. And he is mentioned in four different independent reliable sources.~ ScitDei^{Wanna talk?} 11:19, 27 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
At most Weak keep -- A long and no doubt useful career, but I doubt that being briefly head of what was probably a small seminary makes him notable. Peterkingiron (talk) 14:47, 27 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. He is mentioned in four reliable sources. Long career. Rector of seminary seals his notability. There are no reasons to delete him.desmay (talk) 20:45, 31 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: I see the word mentioned a lot but the policy required detailed sources to count to N. Do detailed sources exist?
