Non-notable. Doesn't meet WP:GNG. Searches of his name don't turn up anything other than the article that's already sourced. st 170e 17:08, 21 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

There is this http://oldskerries.ie/thomas-hand/ and this http://www.irishmedals.org/ira-killed.html Apollo The Logician (talk) 17:29, 21 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Do you consider either of those reliable sources? irishmedals.org seems to be a personal website. oldskerries is a historical society which accepts papers. I couldn't get to an editorial policy. Gab4gab (talk) 19:42, 21 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Start-class article with room for expansion. With Ireland's "decade of centenary anniversaries" just commenced, quite likely more sourced will be published. Bastun^{Ėġáḍβáś₮ŭŃ!} 21:32, 21 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Bastun: if there's going to be more published, then now is not the right time for the article. WP:NOTYET st 170e 13:33, 22 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Just thought I would let you know that your link isn't what you think it is Apollo The Logician (talk) 13:44, 22 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep A moderately notable figure. According to this source he has a street named after him, and here we see that he was specifically honoured at a commemoration, and a plaque erected. Debbiesw (talk) 23:45, 21 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - I agree, seems to meet GNG. Smmurphy^(Talk) 03:13, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep - meets GNG, but still mainly more of a minor figure with localized notability. Kierzek (talk) 14:19, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
