In copy-editing I have Wikified: compacted text, removed weasel words, loaded terms, fan-speak, blogese and some unsupported claims that existed. I have restructured paragraphs for a better and more logical read, added citation requests for the remaining unsupported claims, and requests for dates.
I have removed aggrandizing bold text over certain names and places, removed names of people who don’t in themselves appear notable to the article, and changed the familiar and unencyclopedic "Mickey" to "Finn" or "he". I have converted viable external links into in-line references, and added internal Wiki links, categories and a stub template.
If the apparent quotes below cannot be authenticated, they will be removed through suspicion of original research and editorializing:
I have removed what appears erroneous links:
The 4 in-line citations for Frankie Gavin are too many – this is not an article about him – ‘though he is notable enough to have his own article... any takers? He does mention Finn in passing so these cites are probably best as external links.
If anything is reverted, do this with adequate linked evidence to corroborate assertions, from reliable independent sources that can be in-line cited.
If external links are added, see Wikipedia:External links for what Wikipedia considers viable – in a nutshell, a web blog is generally not viable, and commercial/selling, or promotional web sites such as facebook and myspace, are not acceptable as necessary third party original sources. An official web site for Finn would be viable.
Could an editor with good detailed knowledge of Finn’s life and career extend this article, especially his early life? - everything cited/referenced of course, and with no trivia or personal opinion. Any future edits that display Wikipedia:COI or non- Wikipedia:Verifiability and are not added from a Wikipedia:Neutral point of view will be swiftly removed.

There's a nice photo via http://gerrycarthy.com/BioPage.htm; it's possible that the webmaster would give permission to add it to the commons. Jodi.a.schneider ( talk) 11:39, 21 April 2011 (UTC)
The references to Frankie Gavin should be cleaned up, probably only one is needed but I don't have time to look through to pick one. I did add an article request; Wikipedia should have an article on him. Jodi.a.schneider ( talk) 12:00, 21 April 2011 (UTC)
The "references" section needs to be gone through; it looks like several of the {{citation needed}} can be resolved by that. Right now there are a lot of bare links without titles, unconnected to the sentence they're supporting. Jodi.a.schneider ( talk) 12:09, 21 April 2011 (UTC)
What did he die of, at such a young age? In Galway a few years ago I rather got the impression that he had drunk himself to death. I would be happy to learn that this was not the case. Paul Magnussen ( talk) 19:37, 13 August 2011 (UTC)
