Mass created article by Lugnuts. Clear WP:NSPORTS fail since the only source is the CricInfo database and a passing mention on the Cricket Ireland website. This guy is literally an umpire.
DePROD'd by St. Anselm with the comment {{tq|"international umpires - yes, even umpires - are generally notable"}}, however, participation-based notability was deprecated by WP:NSPORTS2022. Nobody is notable simply because of where they've played or officiated. If this person were notable in the world of cricket, or in Ireland, you would expect significant coverage of them, and that doesn't appear to exist. FOARP (talk) 08:48, 16 January 2025 (UTC)
