Talk:Eugene Debs

Does anyone have any citation for the supposed Ireland reference? I've just done some googling and turned up nothing. At a minimum, this sounds like an obscure usage not worthy of a separate disambiguation page. RadicalSubversiv E 20:33, 6 May 2005 (UTC)

I was the person that edited to include the Debutante Ball reference. I can't seem to find anything on a quick Google either, but ask any Irish person that finished their second-level education, and they will be able to tell you.

http://www.libertylimousines.ie/sh785y.html shows an Irish limo company offering services for transport to such balls. http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=62720 is a sticky on a popular Irish bulletin board, talking about venues for the Debs.

In Ireland, the Debs is huge. It's the equivelent to Senior Prom


 * In that case, the disambiguation belongs at Debs, not Eugene Debs. I've put something there -- Google turns up a number of hits of "Debs" being used as a shorthand for the debutantes themselves. RadicalSubversiv E 16:53, 9 May 2005 (UTC)
