tentatyive delete. The claims of possible notability are unreferenced. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Staszek Lem (talk • contribs)
Keep but not a perfectly clear-cut decision. Martin was Chief of Staff of the Fianna Éireann and probably meets WP:ANYBIO solely on that basis. He is mentioned in the books and newspaper articles cited in the article (and indeed probably gets a passing mention in every serious book on the Irish Republican movements of the 1912-23 period). That said, he was not the leading figure in the Irish Republican Brotherhood (instead, he was a committeemember) not did he had a leading role in the Easter Rising. Also, the article gives the impression of being a vanity piece by or on behalf of his grandson. On balance, though, the sources cited just support keeping the article.

Keep - reasonably well sourced, and a significant enough figure in Irish republicanism to satisfy notability concerns. Bastun^{Ėġáḍβáś₮ŭŃ!} 09:48, 15 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Clearly passes WP:SOLDIER. Number 3 to be exact (He was a chief of staff).Apollo The Logician (talk) 16:01, 15 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - seems to have played a notable role in notable world events. Also seems to meet GNG. Smmurphy^(Talk) 16:49, 15 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep references have been improved after the beginning of AfD debate.--Pampuco (talk) 20:43, 15 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per WP:HEY. He was part of the inner circle ("brotherhood") of the IRA. FWIW, my granddad was in the Royal Irish Constabulary. Bearian (talk) 02:22, 16 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
