Dundrum and Patrick Neary
A chara Highking,
Patrick Neary is a houshold name (abeit for the wrong reasons)and he does live in Dundrum as referenced by several media reports. Rather than get involved in an edit war with you I would appreciate your thoughts on why this comparitively simple matter should be withheld from people looking at Wikipedia. I have come across your work before and admire your contributions to the Irish entries in particular.
Is mise le meas.

- Hi - it's a matter of notability. One of the simplest tests for notability is to check if the person in question has a Wikipedia article. Now, that's not a hard and fast rule, but a useful rule-of-thumb nonetheless. In this case, Patrick doesn't have an article, so I removed the reference. Check out WP:NOTNEWS in particular where it states "Wikipedia considers the enduring notability of persons and events". --HighKing (talk) 15:41, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
Highking,
Point taken.
Thanks,
