Should Patrick Kavanagh (poet) and Kevin Barry (patriot) be notables?

Question

I have just created a profile for Katherine Barry Moloney and connected her to her husband Patrick Kavanagh and her maternal uncle Kevin Barry, who were both already on WikiTree. Both now have links to their extensive biographies on WikiTree.  Neither is yet connected to the main WikiTree tree. Neither is marked as notable, but I think that both should be.

Answer 1

My rule of thumb is generally to check if the person has a Wikipedia page. It can be a bit of a gray area if the Wikipedia page is just a couple of sentences, but for both the people you're talking about they have full articles in several languages. Both definitely deserve a notable sticker!

Thanks, Léa. I have taken that as authorisation to add {{Notables Sticker}} to both and have done so.
