I don't think the article should be deleted based on that merit alone; there are plenty of instances of having a surname page as well as a more detailed page regarding particular families. For example:
Kennedy (surname) and
O'Kennedy. The other problems with the article I tried to fix: namely rewriting in prose, clarifying the unclear nature regarding the various septs, and removing the pointlessly vague 'Associated counties' section. I also removed the etymology detailed in the beginning of the article, and I've instead added a link to the Kelly surname page (where it both seems more prevalent and is better explained) in the See Also section. I've also added some other information such as a small amount of history and the arms and motto of the O'Kelly of Hy Many.

Keep -- It is a bad nomination that fails to say what the fork is duplicating. If it is
Kelly (surname), it would object that the two are not covering the same ground. Some introductory material from that article might be merged into this one, which is about an Irish clan (if that is the right term). The surname article is otherwise a typical list article, whose primary function is as an index for people with the surname, since we do not allow SHAREDNAME categories.
