While mentioned quite a few places, not a single in-depth reference from an independent source as required to meet WP:GNG. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 21:24, 20 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete articles subject lacks the in-depth coverage needed to pass GNG.John Pack Lambert (talk) 21:41, 20 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Merge - I was going call for redirect to Rosslare Europort. This article seems to be almost entirely about Rosslare Europort. But I started seeing if the references in Glenn Carr were also in Rosslare Europort. They aren't. So I now call for merge to Rosslare Europort. Geo Swan (talk) 02:00, 21 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Do not delete or merge Glenn Carr became manager of Rosslare Europort in 2018. There were 3 direct sailingsa a week to the EU mainland. Through his efforts, he has now achieved 30 directly weekly sailings on the route. Due to this, Rosslare is now Ireland's most strategic port as it offers routes to the EU as the previous option using the so-called UK landbridge is no longer attractive due to delays and cost. Without Rosslare Europort, Ireland (an island) would be isolated as regards freight. The merit is Carr's. In my opinion, deleting Glenn Carr would be very like deleting Brendan O'Regan's own page and redirecting the reader to Shannon Airport, the Shannon Development Authority, duty'free shpopping, the Northern Ireland Peace process etc. Carr is a similar figure for his partt of Ireland. The new developments in Rosslare due to the port's rebirth are astonishing. A new motorway is being built. All the disused hotels in Rosslare have been bought to become renovated. Rosslare is becoming a major wind energy hub. All of this happens due to one man, who is involved in everything, Glenn Carr. He has been interviewed by The Times (London), France 24, by Reuters, Al Jazeera etc. I have a file of about 60 page cuttings where he is interviewed, inclluding in French etc. I think it would really be a mistake to eleiminate him.MarkHarper1 (talk) 08:50, 21 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Do not delete or merge I have gone to the independent sources. They all contain in-depth references and interviews with the person. The sources are high-quality, and are from a wide range of jurisdictions. Not just Ireland but also UK (Times, Guardian, BBC, Reuters), France etc. A google check on the name shows a lot of foreign-language interviews too. I vote to retain it as it stands as it meets notzbility criteria.Grotius2018 (talk) 10:12, 23 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I agree that it is too drastic to delte or merge. The current importance of the subject is very obvious to readers in UK, Eire and France.HarleyQuinn2020 (talk) 11:19, 23 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
A full profile article and interview has just been dedicated to Glenn Carr by the London newspaper, The Times: https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/glenn-carr-is-making-waves-at-rosslare-europort-pbmzcr0p3 It describes the fact that Carr is General Manager of Freght for the Irish national railways company and is devising the Irish national plan for freight (rail, road and maritime transport). Rosslare Europort, of which he is General Manager, is just a part of his activities. I therefore suggest that this togrther with all the other references show the article's subject has the in-depth coverage needed to pass GNG.MarkHarper1 (talk) 17:55, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I have discovered literally hundreds more articles on Carr doing a basic internet search. I will work my way through them and edit the article to link with the new sources. However it will take time as there is a lot of work. Thanks for your patience. I have already addeded a few.MarkHarper1 (talk) 20:16, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I have checked and not one of the sources is a press reòease from Irish Rail or the Port. I am quite amazed that something would think this was a business ploy if they look at the wide range, independence and reliability of the sources. MarkHarper1 (talk) 22:16, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I am not trying to vote multiple times. I wa trying to add new information.MarkHarper1 (talk) 13:50, 25 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. He appears to be borderline notable. However, I am afraid that this is not written according to our manual of style, but rather more of an essay. Can we userfy or merge this? Bearian (talk) 20:05, 29 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Rosslare Europort where Carr is already mentioned - this article is not a bio as it gives no information on Carr's background or life – the achievements attributed to Carr, such as "Carr has received extensive media attention due to new routes to Dunkirk..." are corporate decisions, not Carr's own – the references are nearly all to media stories about Rosslare Europort, not independent articles on Carr himself - interviews are not independent reliable sources per WP:INTERVIEW - does not meet WP:ANYBIO – cheers, Epinoia (talk) 16:55, 31 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Rosslare Europort. per above. The article and the sources say very little about him. Just corporate information. Nigej (talk) 21:41, 31 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
