Philip Hogarty[edit]

Delete. Notability not established. Reaching #32 in Ireland is not consistent with WP:ATHLETE. WWGB (talk) 23:25, 2 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. The complete career section is a copyvio of the one inline citation link. ww2censor (talk) 04:35, 3 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I have edited the article to include results and achievments. He was the head-figure of the Irish Chess Union (The main chess organisation in Ireland). He was also the youngest chairperson in history. His death attracted widespread media attention - he was on the front page of several national newspapers and was the first item on most Irish news programmes. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jam-Fly (talk • contribs) 15:35, 4 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I found some better sources from national news: 1 2 3. Hogarty seems to be quite well-known in the Irish chess world. I say keep but rewrite to fix the tone and add refs. I'd be willing to do it if we decide to keep the article. Graymornings_(talk) 00:40, 7 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The chess.com article Graymornings lists is not exactly the most reliable of sources since anyone can post articles there, but the other references and the fact he was the youngest chairperson of a notable organisation and received significant staff-written obituaries upon his death indicate he's notable. - Mgm|^(talk) 11:20, 7 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Newer sources by Graymornings that are about his death and 1 win at the schools championship really still don't make him notable enough. ww2censor (talk) 18:13, 10 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
