- Delete. Business person that doesn't meet WP:SIGCOV or WP:NBIO. The sources in the article do not even support the text they are placed alongside, not to mind a claim to notability. The biographical information (early life, date of birth, etc) do not seem to be supported or supportable by anything. In my own WP:BEFORE, I could not find any sources that dealt with the subject in any depth. The COI/PROMO issues are also difficult to overlook. Guliolopez (talk) 15:30, 26 September 2024 (UTC)
- Delete: I was on the fence about this one. My own search of the UK and Scottish media press showed lots of mentions of Ciarán O'Toole, but they were generally mentions of him in articles about places where he worked in management. Normally, the article is about the radio station or company and he's quoted in the piece. I couldn't find any coverage that is specifically about O'Toole and not about e.g. Songbox or 96.3 Rock Radio, and certainly nothing that would back up most of the claims made in this very promotional article. The bar for biographical articles is deliberately set high, and this person doesn't meet it. I also can't get past User:Radioscot who has only edited this article and other articles related to O'Toole's business interests. Flip Format (talk) 10:45, 27 September 2024 (UTC)
- Delete: I agree with the various comments above. Axad12 (talk) 15:10, 27 September 2024 (UTC)
