Talk:Tailors' Hall

DYK views
Article had 3792 views over baseline during its Did-You-Know presence on the Main Page, as of end-of-day yesterday, perhaps more to come when today is compiled. Nice article, though surely a good picture of the building itself could be found, given its prominence, and an interior shot? 37.190.57.218 (talk) 14:11, 25 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Good to know, and 3.8k views over 12 hours shows a decent level of interest (I believe the threshold for permanent logging is 5k). Thanks for the information. SeoR (talk) 12:57, 5 March 2021 (UTC)

Last survivor?
Merchants Hall on Wellinton Quay also still stands so it isn't the last surviving guildhall.Financefactz (talk) 10:19, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Hi, the sources all describe it as such, perhaps because of the disruption of the Merchants' Hall. I will look into this further.  The Merchants' Arch facility is mentioned in the article, but in passing. SeoR (talk) 10:25, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Hi again,, just to mention - I will modify the wording. It seems there is some "greyness" about this, but also perhaps we hit the issue of journalistic sources sometimes not digging in fully and using the nice simple tagline.  It looks like Merchant's Hall is sometimes dismissed as "former" because it was more modified (though it was saved from "superpub" fate), or because it had a short-ish life, or was not such a distinct building - but I tend to agree, it qualifies as surviving in some way.  And some sources see some remnant of at least one other guildhouse, though even more disrupted.  So let's just avoid the "last surviving" designation. SeoR (talk) 10:39, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
 * And to close this, having read around, I can see a clear need for an article on the guilds of Dublin (the 25 Companies, as they were at peak), and their (few) halls, etc. Not enough for an article on each, though a few have some coverage already, but they were such forces in the city's history that they should be here.

Hi SeoR, not as difficult to draft up a stub as I thought - Guilds of the City of Dublin. Financefactz (talk) 20:09, 7 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Hi, great work - I'll add some points too. SeoR (talk) 20:27, 7 February 2021 (UTC)
