Radio show presenter. This article has no sources for its notability, though he seems likely to be included. [[User:Poccil|Peter O.]] ([[User talk:Poccil|Talk]]) 16:35, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

*'''Delete''' - appears non-notable to me, the article reads like a fluff piece. Without any sources cited there should be no article. -- [[User:Wtfunkymonkey|wtfunkymonkey]] 01:59, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
*'''Delete''' Doesn't assert notability. [[User:Hello32020|Hello32020]] 02:06, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
*'''Keep''' He's a presenter (DJ) on a radio station that covers all of Ireland, and he was nominated for an national radio award last year [http://www.ppiradioawards.com/2005/entries_rec_2005.htm]. I'd say he satisfies the "name recognition" and "large fan base" qualifiers (on a national level) for [[WP:BIO]]. [[User:Caknuck|Caknuck]] 03:48, 19 November 2006 (UTC)''
*'''Keep''' He seems like a regional celeb, and has Irish newspaper coverage [[http://www.mayonews.ie/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=179&Itemid=38]] and as said above, he has been up for national awards. I think per Caknuck, it's a keeper, of course after some clean up/sources. [[User:Missvain|Missvain]] 04:39, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
*'''Weak Keep''' Presenting on Ireland's only national independent radio station seems to be just sufficiently [[WP:NOTE|notable]]. However, the article needs work. It's entirely [[WP:V|unverified]]/[[WP:OR|OR]], reads a bit like a CV and I can't help but feel there's been some [[WP:AUTO]] going on here on the part of the man himself. -- [[User:IslaySolomon|IslaySolomon]] | [[User talk:IslaySolomon|talk]] 07:57, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
**'''Comment''' Actually better make that a very weak keep. The coverage I get from [http://news.google.ie/news?hl=en&ned=en_ie&q=%22Ray+Foley%22&ie=UTF-8&filter=0 Google.ie news] is along "local lad set from stardom" lines from regional papers. -- [[User:IslaySolomon|IslaySolomon]] | [[User talk:IslaySolomon|talk]] 08:02, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
*'''Delete'''. Only thing notable is that it's presenting in the nation's only independent radio station. Nothing much special. Does not pass notability test. [[User:Sr13|Sr13]] 09:19, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
*'''Delete''' No real significance --[[User_talk:Pgk|pgk]] 16:06, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
*'''Weak delete''' I see a reference to a non trivial independent reference, but I don't see multiple non trivial independent references. [[User:HighInBC|HighInBC]] (Need help? [[User_talk:HighInBC|Ask me]]) 17:05, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
*'''Delete''' per above. - [[User:A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]] [[User talk:A Link to the Past|(talk)]] 00:35, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
*'''Delete'''. Non-notable. Since this article was proposed for deletion, [[User:Candlewicke|Candlewicke]] has removed the AfD template and made some significant additions to the article. The fact that lots of unsourced information was added by a single user and three of the external links lead to home movies on YouTube leads me to suspect [[WP:COI]]. [[User:Stebbins|Stebbins]] 02:16, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
*'''Delete'''. Non-notable ( and, I suspect, self-written ). [[User:WMMartin|WMMartin]] 18:18, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
*'''Strong Keep''' Very notable, known all around Ireland. [[User:24.226.160.237|24.226.160.237]]
:You're going to need to provide sources to back up that claim. Right now there are none in the article. [[User:Stebbins|Stebbins]] 18:09, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
*'''Weak Keep''' per IslaySolomon. I agree that this is an iffy article. --[[User:Wizardman|Wizardman]] 18:11, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
*'''Strong Keep''' He is very popular among the radio listeners of Ireland so much so that he was given his own show during the day + as said above he has been nominated at least for national awards, or perhaps may have won some. The article has received some work too. — Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:86.40.201.126|86.40.201.126]] ([[User talk:86.40.201.126|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/86.40.201.126|contribs]]) 
* <s>'''Strong Keep''' He is a well-known radio personality.16:52, 25 November 2006 (UTC) — Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:86.40.201.126|86.40.201.126]] ([[User talk:86.40.201.126|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/86.40.201.126|contribs]]) </s> (struck double vote)
:I feel it is worth pointing out that the previous two comments were added by the same IP address. [[User:Stebbins|Stebbins]] 19:18, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
Let's just call this no consensus and close the debate, as it seems quite split. --[[User:Wizardman|Wizardman]] 17:10, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
*'''Keep''', DJ on a national radiostation in Ireland should make him notable enough. [[User:Bbx|bbx]] 08:12, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
*'''Strong Keep''', He definitely is notable enough to be kept. — Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:87.36.19.106|87.36.19.106]] ([[User talk:87.36.19.106|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/87.36.19.106|contribs]])  — [[User:87.36.19.106|87.36.19.106]] ([[User talk:87.36.19.106|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/87.36.19.106|contribs]]) {{{2|}}} has made [[Wikipedia:Single purpose account|few or no other edits]] outside this topic.
