The result was keep. Given the views expressed, there's no point in continuing this. I hope someone will think of a better qualifier than "adventurer" DGG ( talk ) 01:37, 28 April 2015 (UTC)

Promotional article for non- notable traveller. Most of his accomplishments have no been firsts, but "One of the first"s, or unsuccessful attempts DGG ( talk ) 18:13, 20 April 2015 (UTC)
- Keep -the article needs some work to cut down promotional tone etc, but the topic is covered in the referenced publications and the attempts are notable S3venevan (talk) 05:25, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

- Keep notability is not determined by importance of accomplishments (which is largest subjective), but rather depth of reliable source coverage (whcih mostly is not). Here, significant coverage by Mike O'Shea The Irish Times and The Irish Examiner, among others, makes the subject notable. --ThaddeusB (talk) 20:41, 25 April 2015 (UTC)
