[edit] Not a worthy article for a worthy subject

This article is almost entirely made up from unsupported and undocumented sources. It is supposed to be the biography of a living person and in that it fails at every level. There should be a biography about this person but this rambling nonsense is not it. The current material should be removed here until it is rewritten and sourced and a minor stub left in its place on the article page until an editor creates a decent and well sourced biography.

[edit] Segment of original text removed to this page

(Ronan O' Rahilly is a Irish) businessman in the music industry. He founded the pirate radio station Radio Caroline on March 28, 1964, on a ship anchored in international waters three miles off the coast of Essex, southeast England. In his youth he had been educated at the Blackrock Academy, run by the eccentric Willie Martin. He managed The Beatles for a week^{[citation needed]} and Georgie Fame and ran the Scene club in Soho. He was also the man who advised Australian actor George Lazenby to quit the role of James Bond after starring in just one Bond film, On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969), believing Bond would not last past the mid 1970s.

His parents owned the port of Greenore in Carlingford Lough County Louth Ireland while his grandfather was killed in the Easter 1916 Irish Nationalist rebellion in Dublin.

The port of Greenore was used to fit out both Radio Caroline and rival station Radio Atlanta simultaneously, resulting in what O'Rahilly describes as Pirates of Penzance-style sabotage raids by each station upon the other's ship. In the event it was Radio Caroline which made it onto the air first.

In the 1970s O'Rahilly, noticing that that people found it easier to talk about hate than love, developed the philosophy of Loving Awareness, which has been heavily promoted on Caroline ever since. In 1976 an album of songs based on the concept was recorded by the Loving Awareness Band, a group assembled by O'Rahilly for the purpose.

[edit] So why not do it yourself ?

While the original text was hardly perfect it would have been far better to do a proper edit/rewrite of it rather than removing virtually the entire text.

Basically your position can be summarised as "I think this article is crap and somebody should rewrite it but as I cant be bothered doing so myself Im just going to remove just about the entire text (good and bad alike) and then sit around waiting for someone else to sort it out" 80.229.222.48 12:09, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
