Keep: I don;t think it's fair to delete this page because of "no evidence of notability". O'Brien is a writer. He has published numerous books. This article is merely a stub. Treeinthebog (talk) 18:44, 13 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Author is notable — see two links provided at the end of the article (one is new since deletion proposal) and note the two awards he has won (one is also new since deletion proposal). O'Brien has a comprehensive entry at the Princess Grace Irish Library. The article is a legitimate stub and the subject is notable despite the present brevity of this beginning. Leave the article for qualified contribitors to improve. --O'Dea (talk) 17:00, 15 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I have improved the article: The notability of O'Brien's career should now be established so I have removed the proposal for deletion. --O'Dea (talk) 17:50, 15 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
