Non-notable local Scout group. jergen 15:31, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete This group isn't notable enough for its own article. A Scouting in Dublin article would be nice, though. Bláthnaid  16:04, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Support deletion and creation of Scouting in Dublin per Blathnaid.--Victor falk 16:52, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Support above solution Sounds good to me. Note that if any text is used from here, it'll need to be cleaned up a bit. Hers fold  (t/a/c) 17:06, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete and create pre above. Local units are not notable. Rlevse 17:10, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
 * delete and create Scouting in Dublin, this turkey's been around far too long. Chris 21:43, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment The relevant scouting article for the Rathfarnham area is Dublin Metropolitan Province. Bláthnaid  15:10, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment attempts to edit page to reflect its notability have been fustrated by the edits incorrectly being removed as "suspect vandalism"Soupy Campbell 16:45, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment The troop recently celebrated 90 years making it one of the older troops in Ireland having run continuously since its formation. The Dublin Metropolitan Province article is an article detailing the troops of the 10 scout county's in the Dublin Metropolitan Province with no history of individual troops. Is there place for a troops own history in its own article? Stating that "Local units are not notable" suggests that we should homogenise the history of scouting in the Dublin Metro area and forget local unit history. Why? Dangger  23:15, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Hi Dangger. This article (and other individual scout troop articles) has problems with the Wikipedia policy of notability. It needs reliable sources about the troops's history. For example, has a newspaper published anything about the troops's history? Have any books been published about the history of scouting in Dublin? Bláthnaid  16:15, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Hello Bláthnaid. I have dated photographs and newspaper articles from the 1950's to add to the site section. I will select a selection of what I deem suitable reference materials for general analysis. Thank you for your speedy response. Dangger  19:11, 15 October 2007 (UTC)


 * OKall comments noted and accepted, the history is currently being written and when published (O'Brien press) perhaps this will provide the necessary source references for a return. --Soupy Campbell 06:17, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
