It is
proposed that this article be deleted because of the following concern:
Does not meet WP:GNG and WP:ANYBIO like the similar Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Eilish Redmond and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Síle Horgan, with others opting to unanimously delete those. Sports officials are not covered by WP:NGAELIC. None of the sources provided are working. The first reference is one page (460) in a book. This same page was used as the single reference for Brídín Uí Mhaolagáin, Lil O'Grady, as well as numerous other biographies which suggests more of a list on that page than anything more significant. This book was written by another president of the same organisation so can hardly be classed as independent. The second reference appears to refer to the author of that book in its title so is not even related to this biography. The third reference leads to a missing page on the official website. The fourth reference refers to an 'experienced pair' so does not seem to have even been about one person. The sixth reference leads to non-existent 'reports and interviews' and the part of the biography where it is included refers to a "strategic review" on attendances, membership and numbers of clubs that happened during a different presidency and proably have nothing to do with the subject of this biography. The seventh reference appears to have been about a new constitution and official rules. The eighth reference appears to have been about teams receiving "greater access". The ninth reference appears to have been a media campaign which had little or nothing to do with the subject of this biography. The tenth reference appears to have been an opinion column. More rules (e.g. "two points for a sideline cut") in references eleven and twelve. The last reference covers the claim of time spent as "Policy and Information Worker for a charity working with vulnerable young Irish emigrants, worked for Combat Poverty Agency (1994–2009) as Head of Communications". But is that enough to establish notability? The link at the end also does not work. Even if it did it is not clear what relevance it has to the subject of this biography. The only inclusion of a person with this name in The Irish Times newspaper is an appearance on one episode of a show about hurling that mentions her between two other contributors to the same episode ("just the Camogie Association's Joan O'Flynn", so not even a presidency).
