Ballybeen Housing Estate
Not-notable housing estate in a large city. Delete -Royalguard11 (Talk·Review Me!) 21:27, 15 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete - non-notable housing complex (6 unique hits from Google.com). -- moe.RON   Let's talk  21:35, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, no assertions of notability. - Zeibura Talk 00:53, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. If small rural towns are notable, why not major housing estates? What the article needs is historical background, and it probably won't be found on Google. Note the tentative reference to its Protestant identity; asserting notability may take some diplomatic skill in the context of Northern Ireland. That's no reason not to write the article. Compare another (English) housing estate article, Oliver Close. -- Rob C (Alarob) 01:06, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. Quick comment first: a search for Ballybeen, rather than Ballybeen housing estate, will generate a lot more results (20,000 +), and from a quick check through the first couple, most refer to the housing estate in Dundonald, which is the subject of the article. (I think there is another small village called Ballybeen somewhere else in Northern Ireland.) But keep as valid place article; the population of the estate must be approaching ten thousand. It was 9170 in 2001 FlowerpotmaN  ( t  &middot;  c ) 00:48, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect to Dundonald as per Flowerpotman, most likely in the "Places of interest" section. Unless some reliable sources say further why this is notable, I still don't see anything notable enough about this place besides just being the biggest housing estate there. -- moe.RON   Let's talk  03:15, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge to Dundonald, as suggested by Moeron above as well. Nothing notable here. xC | ☎  04:21, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Switched to merge as above, unless the "second largest housing estate" comment can be verified and more info added to the article. - Zeibura (Talk) 13:22, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
