Notability[edit]

It meets WP:ANYBIO #2: The person has made a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in his or her specific field. O'Donovan's translation and editing of 'Assertio' is still widely used and cited 100 years later, more so than more recent versions. It is a historically significant book which O'Donovan's work brought to the masses.

That this is still the 'go-to' version, in many academic libraries etc., means he meets WP:AUTHOR #1: The person is...widely cited by peers or successors.

WP:NAUTHOR #3: The person has created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work or collective body of work. In addition, such work must have been the subject of an independent book or feature-length film or of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews. His book has been the subject of numerous reviews and periodical articles. Markiewp (talk) 19:08, 28 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
