Deletion of Brian Begley

Comment: See #Burden_of_evidence, which says "''The burden of evidence lies with the editor who adds or restores material.''"  I don't think it's unfair to ask  that those who want such unreferenced material to be retained should justify its inclusion by adding references, and I'm disappointed that the burden of proof is being inverted.  I'm not the one who AFDed this article, but I cannot defend keeping unreferenced material, and I did try to help by drawing the attention of the Gaelic Games project to the extent of this problem Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Gaelic_games#Feedback_from_a_WP:IE_assessment_drive|nearly a year ago in the hope that those with expertise in the area could work on it

I am not suggesting that article needs to be expanded or fully referenced in that time, just that we need ''one'' reference to establish the existence of the subject and the claim to notability. If such a reference has been added by the time the AFD is closed, then obviously my !vote to delete will be invalid (and if I spot the change, I'll happily strike out my !vote once the ref is added
