Originally there were two independently created articles (by this I only mean that they had no common history - there may have been off wiki collaboration): Sean Gallagher (businessman) (now a redirect here) and Sean Gallagher (Political Candidate) (deleted). Inexperienced editors attempted to get the former deleted and created the latter as a substitute article rather than simply moving the former (the editors may not have been autoconfirmed yet so they couldn't move by themselves). I initially deleted the latter article as a fork and blocked one of the editors as a suspected sock, I then had off wiki communications with the editor and confirmed he was not a sock and restored the latter article. Because there was no common history a history merge was not in order. I began a text merge with the intent to move here as the individuals proper name (and requiring no disambiguation) but reverted myself upon realizing it would be better to move and merge here, thereby obviating the need to keep the latter article as a permanent redirect for its history. I then moved the latter article here and text merged the articles here. I deleted the latter article as it contained no history, only a redirect and no incoming links - it is also arguably not a point on which the individual is notable and it's very temporal as in October elections will be held and he will no longer be a political candidate. The former article is retained for edit history purposes. I dumped the text of the former article here at the bottom of the article, leaving it for others to sort out.
Again, please note, a history merge is neither necessary nor advisable.

I've proposed that all articles on candidates on the upcoming presidential election be semi protected until the 28th of October. This is owing to all of these articles coming under increasing pressure from vandals and unregistered/newly-registered editors with obvious axes to grind.
I've opened a general discussion on this at at WikiProject Ireland. -- RA ( talk) 17:53, 5 October 2011 (UTC)

I feel the photo for both this candidate and some of the others should be altered to a more neutral photo - even the campaign photo would be less suggestive - NPOV is not limited to text Conchubhairb ( talk) 12:01, 24 October 2011 (UTC)
Please add Irene McCausland 1997 - 99 Divorced to his spouse details — Preceding unsigned comment added by Maigheo16 ( talk • contribs) 01:56, 27 October 2011 (UTC)
The reference here to illegal loan has been removed again. There is no such reference in said Irish Time article so it is not correct.
Please do not revert this edit again as I have 100% confirmed this is correct.
Have begun cleaning up this article - some promotional stuff, and promotional words, here which is not WP:BLP. Also, his career and education is very complex, so I have split into Public Service, Business and Political. They merge at times, but I think it is a better way to "navigate" his biography. Also, a lot of dates and specifics are missing about his facts, so am going to try and upgrade/re-reference them. Given the current presidential campaign, critical that this bio is just high quality referenced facts, and facts that are on him specifically (e.g. what he said, what he did), and don't stray into using facts to create, WP:SYN on him. Britishfinance ( talk) 12:13, 16 September 2018 (UTC)
I notice that now that now the 2018 Irish Presidential election has started, which Sean Gallagher is part of, that we are getting acts of WP:VANDALISM from non-registered users. Should we consider some WP:ADMIN support to semi-protecting this article so that only authorized WP editors can edit? Britishfinance ( talk) 19:43, 17 September 2018 (UTC)
MajorEditor19, if you have problems with the article, feel free to discuss them here. Do not remove referenced material. We will not be getting in touch with Seán Gallagher to get approval for what's published here, but you may want to have a read of WP:COI and declare any conflicts of interests you may have.

Biography owneron Wikipedia; nobody owns a Wikipedia biography (or any article), it is simply an aggregation of reliable independent secondary sources (per WP:RS) which is what readers come to Wikipedia to read (e.g. not what we say, or even what Sean says, unless quoted via an reliable independent secondary source). Britishfinance ( talk) 14:01, 3 August 2019 (UTC)
This page should not be speedily deleted just because somebody claims to be Seán Gallagher's official biographer, states that they're claims they're going to re-write the biography according to Gallagher's website, and tells us to contact the BLP subject for verification. This is presumably bad trolling... -- Bastun Ėġáḍβáś₮ŭŃ! 13:04, 3 August 2019 (UTC)
Sean has is going to recreate this page and is happy to confirm same. This is not trolling or anything else. It is a legitimate and genuine request. I have no conflict or interest in this page other than that. MajorEditor19 ( talk) 13:12, 3 August 2019 (UTC)
Apparently material, mostly referenced, was removed because somebody asked on a ticketing system? There is, therefore, presumption of a conflict of interest must exist? None of the material seems to be particularly PoV. Can proposed changes be discussed here, please? Bastun Ėġáḍβáś₮ŭŃ! 21:39, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
a then-unknown housewife and mother of three with no political affiliationsneed to be included? It makes the person sound neutral when the footnote tells a different story. Another thing was
It is not clear whether these roles are full-time or part-time, and the non-public service activities he was engaged in (e.g. he is recorded as stating that he was a fitness instructor and massage therapist in the 1990s[4][7]).How is that encyclopedic when he is notable for his political and business career. I'm limited by the OTRS confidentiality agreement in what I can say with regards to the ticket, but I can say the changes requested had an explanation and references. I will also get another OTRS agent to review the ticket and see if I made any mistakes. Kb03 ( talk) 04:35, 7 February 2021 (UTC)
a then-unknown housewife and mother of three with no political affiliations. This was an important qualification as Gallagher claimed that she was some kind of a "plant" from another political party. However, it turned out that she was non-political, but as a company director, understood the tax implications of Gallagher's actions. My understanding (as per the refs), was that this interaction between the lady and Gallagher on live Irish tv, was a major moment in the campaign. The footnote does not conflict, as it merely clarifies that subsequent to her interaction with Gallagher on Irish tv, she went on to pursue a political career.
It is not clear whether these roles are full-time or part-time, and the non-public service activities he was engaged in .... Gallagher's "alternative careers" have featured prominently in the Irish media (sometimes promoted by Gallagher himself and in photo ops), hence why there are so many refs on them. However, no ref has been able to confirm whether these "alternative careers" happened during or after this public service career, hence the need to clarify.
Just letting the people here know, I informed the requesting party to contribute to the talk page here since it seems to be bustling with activity. I'll keep an eye out as well. Kb03 ( talk) 18:58, 9 February 2021 (UTC)
