Cathal Coughlan

POV, and apparently not notable. — Kieff | Talk 06:29, Dec 22, 2004 (UTC)

• Frankly, I don't see the POV, and I think that Cathal Coughlan is notable, but the article needs improvement to show that. Keep Bibfile | Talk 12:10, Jan 28, 2005 (UTC)
• Cathal Coughlan is definitely a notable musician and artist (for instance, he has a show coming up as part of Cork's European Capital of Culture programme - called 'Flannery's Mounted Head', it is apparently a 'narrative song-cycle with spoken and visual extension'). The article does need to be expanded upon to reflect his importance. The website for the European Capital of Culture Cork2005 describes him thus, "Cathal Coughlan is a key figure in Irish music, having been lead singer in the acclaimed Cork group Microdisney. He later formed the raucous and controversial Fatima Mansions. Coughlan has released three well-received albums of solo material. He has provided soundtrack music for feature films including Johnny Gogan's The Mapmaker and has taken singing roles in French composer François Ribac's contemporary operas Qui Est Fou? (2001) and Petit Traité du Jardin Botanique (2004)" Keep Jcmbrennan 15:06, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC).
