Delete: non-notable Irish rebel. Google search turned up few if any independent references, almost all Google search results pertain to either Willie O'Dea, TD or William O'Dea (New Jersey politician) Quis separabit? 00:25, 4 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. No indication that subject meets WP:SOLDIER (military award/high rank/major role/etc), WP:ANYBIO (recognised contribution/DNB/etc) or WP:GNG. I would note that between 1000 and 2000 volunteers fought or otherwise took part in the 1916 Easter Rising - not all of them meet the project's notability criteria.

Delete Non-notable republican - seems the only claim for notable is his participation in the Easter Rising (and Guliolopez correctly points out that he is one of 1000-2000 people). I tried searching for sources to find some notability but I found nothing to add. st 170e 13:01, 4 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - He was one of 90 Irishmen sentenced to death as part of the Easter Rising. Don't have an opinion on notability yet.Icewhiz (talk) 07:40, 5 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Icewhiz -- you don't really have any point since only 15 men were executed. Quis separabit? 17:09, 5 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

15 executed, 90 sentenced of which 75 inluding him were not.Icewhiz (talk) 17:40, 5 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Icewhiz -- I got it, dude. I did the complicated arithmetic. Point is that the other 75 have no inherent claim to notability, and O'Dea is one of those 75. Quis separabit? 01:46, 6 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, per above; not notable; only one of many as to the event in question. Kierzek (talk) 17:23, 5 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Dubious -- The British state considered him sufficiently NN to commute his death sentence. How many others of the 75 do we have bios for? Some wnet on to have notable political careers and are notable for that. This man did not. Peterkingiron (talk) 23:57, 5 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
