Comment - there is quite a bit of coverage of Hurley in the context of being a friend and cousin of Michael Collins - e.g. [1] [2].Icewhiz (talk) 11:59, 24 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The same could be said of Dervla Kirwan's relationship to Collins, but that's not any part of her notability, nor would it be enough to sustain an article. Cabayi (talk) 19:22, 24 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

While related, Collins do not know her (having died some 50 years prior to her birth), and she isn't described as his closest friend in London, close companion, etc. Hurley received coverage as a close companion of Collins.Icewhiz (talk) 20:17, 24 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete There's no indication in a brief search that he did anything except die. There's no mention of leadership. Being a friend of a notable person does not convey notability.--Georgia Army Vet Contribs Talk 02:38, 25 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The citations include two articles from 2016 specifically about him in the Irish Examiner and The Irish Times, both daily national newspapers and thoroughly WP:RS sources. Passes WP:BASIC. Narky Blert (talk) 19:40, 27 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
