This appears to be more of a memorial page rather than a BLP that meets the notability requirements. The several death notices are brief and do not establish notability. Of the other references, only Niamh O Dochartaigh's book stands out but I have been unable to find this on Google Books ~~or track down an ISBN~~(see below) (making this a likely vanity-published work) and Bolger's inclusion as one of ten examples does little to establish notability. The previous deletion discussion appeared to hinge on this single source which I believe highly suspect. Fæ (talk) 23:53, 21 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Per WP:NOTMEMORIAL & the one mention in the book "A Way With Horses" is not significant coverage. Jarkeld (talk) 23:59, 21 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: ISBN for the book is ISBN-13: 978-0955510014. Source: Amazon.co.uk Jarkeld (talk) 00:05, 22 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, based on your information I found this WorldCat entry. However, I find little information on the publisher (Ardcru Books) and no citations of O'Dochartaigh's books in Google Scholar. Fæ (talk) 00:17, 22 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I can find no coverage about him in reliable sources. The death notices are just that, death notices, and not the indepedent obituaries that could be used to establish notability. This leaves only the book. The website indicates one should email the author to order the book. And as pointed out in the previous AFD, the link to the publisher's blog is actually also the author's blog and so we essentially have a source which is self-published. This doesn't establish notability. -- Whpq (talk) 16:56, 22 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - The article was created 2 weeks after his death and reads like a memorial, see WP:NOTMEMORIAL. The death notices just confirm his death not his notability. Snappy (talk) 18:55, 22 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
