Not notable as a scientist, and having two published books doesn't automatically confer notability for a stand alone article. Fails WP:PROF and WP:AUTHOR.

Not to be confused with the science educator [http://www.brainfacts.org/about-us/people/colm-kelleher/] or the financial executive [http://topics.bloomberg.com/colm-kelleher/] of the same name. - LuckyLouie (talk) 11:30, 8 October 2014 (UTC)

  • Redirect to Skinwalker Ranch, as writing about that seems to be the only claim to notability. Artw (talk) 17:08, 8 October 2014 (UTC)

  • Keep – Seems to be notable and influential in the research of Interleukin 3, GM-CSF and G-CSF as they pertain to Acute myeloblastic leukemia as shown here [http://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=%22Colm+Kelleher%22]. ShoesssS Talk 14:10, 15 October 2014 (UTC)
  • Delete. I'm not convinced by the citation record pointed out by Shoessss (for one thing, several of those publications should be discounted because his name is only listed in a middle position) and there seems to be nothing else that would pass WP:PROF. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:38, 21 October 2014 (UTC)
  • Weak Delete There is no independent coverage of him and I don't think I see enough to show notability as a researcher (though I could be wrong). The lack of coverage is what decided my vote. 131.118.229.17 (talk) 22:04, 21 October 2014 (UTC)

  • Delete As a research scientist the subject is not notable. It would be appropriate for his writings and papers to support other Wikiedia entries if applicable. The fact he has written papers is not in and of itself justification for a Wikipeida entry; If he had a landmark accomplishment then he would be worth of mention, ever were it of lesser importance compared with the accomplishments of Jonas Salk----Lfrankblam 21:28, 24 October 2014 (UTC)
