Does not meet notability criteria for actors. IMDB lists him as being in one short film, and I can't find verification that he's been in the other films/programmes mentioned. (The other reference given is a dead link.) ... discospinster talk 17:18, 31 July 2011 (UTC)

  • Comment As an actor, he Fails WP:ENT . Someone on Flicker wrote of him as a former boxer,[http://www.flickr.com/photos/camdiary/2581058138/], and I searched and found that his work AS an unbeaten light-middleweight IS sourcable.[http://www.cambridge-news.co.uk/Sport/Other-Sports/ODea-gives-boxing-the-elbow-after-win.htm][http://boxrec.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=67425] It would seem that as a boxer, he may meet WP:ATH#Boxer. Article needs to be re-written to show THAT notability. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 05:13, 1 August 2011 (UTC)

  • Delete - Non notable actors. Can't provide verifiability to sustain what is written on the article (as such as his appearance on shows and movies which are dubious claims). Eduemoni↑talk↓ 16:04, 7 August 2011 (UTC)
  • Comment That would then indicative of reguar editing to remove BLP content what is unsourcable. I agree that the individual fails WP:ENT, however your !vote does not address whether or not the subject meets WP:ATH by being his being an unbeaten light-middleweight, which IS sourced in the article. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 08:47, 8 August 2011 (UTC)
  • Comment: he does not seem to meet Wikipedia:ATH#Boxing either. He's undefeated, but apparently that's not enough. ... discospinster talk 14:58, 8 August 2011 (UTC)
  • I am open to discussion with those knowledgable about boxing notability, but apparently it is enough. It would seem logical that fighting for and winning the the IBU light-middleweight World Title in April 2008, and then remaining undefeated until his retirement would seem to meet WP:Boxing. And if an undefeated championship in one's weight division is not considered the peak of professional level in one's sport, than what is? Most media coverage seems to focus on heavyweight divisions, and admittedly, I do not follow boxing nor do I know the various boxing magazines where coverage is best found, but it seems he does have some sort of coverage for his boxing, and was receiving coverage for it some 10+ years back [http://www.docstoc.com/docs/66496550/IF-MY-MATE-OLLIE-COULD-SEE-ME-NOW(News)][http://www.cambridge-news.co.uk/Sport/Other-Sports/ODea-and-McAleeses-fight-plans-are-foiled.htm][http://www.nowpublic.com/culture/cork-los-angeles][http://www.cambridge-news.co.uk/Sport/Other-Sports/ODea-to-employ-new-dimensions.htm][http://www.thefreelibrary.com/One+for+the+road%3B+The+coffin+had+barely+hit+the+bottom+of+the+grave...-a060206319][http://www.thefreelibrary.com/OLLIE...+THE+BEER+DEPARTED%3B+Stars+and+his+drinking+pals+raise+a+last...-a060149461] Again, I do agree he fails WP:NACTOR, but so would George Foreman and Sonny Liston.

  • This [http://books.google.com/books?id=ejMcAQAAIAAJ&q=%22Oliver+O'Dea%22&dq=%22Oliver+O'Dea%22&hl=en book snippet] about the life of Oliver Reed indicates that Reed was interested in O'Dea and had twice provided him with financial support for the boxer's career. Gonna have to see if my local library has the volume. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 21:14, 8 August 2011 (UTC)
