Deletion of Sean Hughes (Irish republican)

Comment: The only claims for notability are statements which are matters of dispute. The Sunday Times has often been willing to make sensationalised claims about senior IRA members, and the book is written from an anti-IRA perspective. It is best to follow the approach that the more extreme the claim, the better the sources need to be, and my judgment is that these sources do not make it over the bar. Strict application of  would reduce this article to almost nothing and I am not convinced the subject is notable, even if we accepted what has been claimed about him

Comment: Violations of  are not reasons to delete an article. The fact that an article in its current state violates any policy is not explicitly a reason to delete it, and I don't believe there's any subject that is "impossible to have a policy compliant article about". The issue for an AFD is mostly whether the subject is notable and citable. This subject appears to be cited by a major publication, whether or not the publication is correct in what they say is not necessarily relevant
