Talk:Gougane Barra

Untitled
Gougane Barra isn't a town: it's not even a village. It's a lake, a church, and about four houses that are not even close to each other - whereas Ballingeary, 2 miles for it, is a village proper. Can I suugest that it be removed from category towns, for possible inclusion in 'historic places in Ireland' at some point? rroddy 16:19, 21 Oct 2004 (UTC)


 * This is a problem with not just this article, but a relatively small bunch of places in Ireland that have stubs on Wikipedia. There were a few overzealous additions to town lists (on the county pages, and the master list), and hence stubs were created for completeness. I'll raise the issue at Wikipedia talk:Irish wikipedians' notice board, as this affects a few other places too which aren't really towns (or even notable as villages). So lets hold off on Gougane Barra until we get a coherent suggestion to apply across the board. We may need to evaluate whether such places merit articles (they may of course, because despite the small size, some have hundreds of years of history).


 * Anyone else interested should see how the discussion pans out at the aforementioned page. zoney &#09827; talk 16:26, 21 Oct 2004 (UTC)
