- Keep. I do not see how WP:BIODEL or WP:BLPPUBLIC can be applied. As per the referencing in the article and a WP:BEFORE search, the subject is (verifiably) the primary topic of a volume of news and other articles (In the Irish Times, Irish Examiner, RTÉ, and other national news outlets.) If the subject is (now) a non-public figure, deleting this WP article wouldn't address the (relatively apparent) fact that there is significant coverage of the subject's (prior) relatively high-profile sporting career. (While BLP guidelines should, rightly, be applied to the article content, WP:NGAELIC and WP:SIGCOV are met for the title/article. WP:NOTCENSORED also likely applies.)

- Keep - deletion unsuitable due to being subject to in-depth coverage from numerous national sources, many of which have now been added Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 12:57, 2 November 2021 (UTC)
- Keep. This article passes WP:NGAELIC and WP:BASIC. The widespread coverage in this case indicates that the sportsperson who is the subject in this article was not a low-profile individual during his sporting years, so I'm not inclined to delete out of a privacy interest. — Mikehawk10 ( talk) 18:46, 6 November 2021 (UTC)
