Buolick (electoral division)

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Most of this article is about electoral divisions in general, rather than about Buolick. There are 3440 electoral divisions in Ireland, which despite the name, since the foundation of the state have mostly been used as census divisions. I can't see how any one of these reaches the Notability standards. Iveagh Gardens (talk) 06:40, 23 May 2022 (UTC)

 * Merge/redirect to the "main" Buolick article. While the proposed target title (currently) only covers the civil parish, it could also easily accommodate a sentence about the electoral division. And, while the original author (in a vague and unsupported way, as noted by the nom) states that not all civil parishes (CP) are coterminous with the equivalent electoral division (ED), in the case of this ED, there is barely a 1% difference in the borders/scope. (Per the related entries in the placenames commission database, there is perhaps a half-square mile of less-than-perfect overlap in the southwest "corner" of the ED. Where the ED is slightly small than the CP). As noted by the nom, we probably don't need a standalone article to cover that minor factoid (and certainly not one that supports/puffs it out with generalised explanations of what an ED is). Otherwise, per WP:GEOLAND, we can easily cover this text in "the more general article on the legally recognized populated place or administrative subdivision that contains it". In short, the "main" Buolick article could easily cover both the ED and the CP. As is the case in a majority of other articles on Irish places (where, for example, a village and a CP share a name. Or (as is often the case) a townland, village, CP, and/or ED share a name, etc.) Guliolopez (talk) 10:58, 23 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Merge/redirect per Guliolopez. Laurel Lodged (talk) 12:25, 23 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks for highlighting the relevant parts of the notability standards! The same principles probably apply in the case of the other pages in Category:Electoral divisions in North Tipperary and Category:Electoral divisions in County Tipperary. Should I separately nominate them for discussion, or if our decision is to merge, do so after the discussion here closes? Iveagh Gardens (talk) 18:38, 23 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Hi . I don't think its fait-accompli. Even if the outcome of this AfD is merge/redirect/delete, I'm not sure the same outcome will be immediately transfer. Some of those EDs might have independent notability or relevance. And not all will be quite so coterminous with any related or "overlapping" geo-topics. IMO, a separate WP:BEFORE would likely be required on each. Guliolopez (talk) 20:49, 23 May 2022 (UTC)
 * That makes sense, I’ll consider each of those separately. Iveagh Gardens (talk) 21:11, 23 May 2022 (UTC)
