Car insurance ireland
Essay/unencyclopedic. Prod was removed by article starter. &mdash;Xezbeth 05:50, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. --Peta 06:20, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
 * The nominator is wrong. The article's author is right.  There is an article to be had on the subject of car insurance in Ireland, the effects of the MIAB recommendations, and the ramifications in neighbouring countries, albeit that this isn't a terribly good start to one and the article title is a rubbish one.  Rename to Motor vehicle insurance in the Republic of Ireland and link from Transport in Ireland and Economy of the Republic of Ireland. Uncle G 09:12, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
 * How is this an encyclopedic topic at all?--Peta 00:01, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Given the contents of what I've hyperlinked to, two of which are not simple articles on the subject but are in fact long lists of such articles on the subject, is it not readily apparent how Motor vehicle insurance in the Republic of Ireland is encyclopaedic? There's the Competition Authority's report on the subject, too ... &#9786; Uncle G 02:18, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Imagine if there were articles on every type of insurance in every country - it's ridiculous and of little to no encyclopaedic value.--Peta 02:34, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
 * That's a straw man argument. This discussion is about this article, not about some hypothetical set of articles, and this article clearly has a fair amount of source material on the subject.  (That's how one decides which types of insurance in which countries warrant articles, by the way.)  Uncle G 13:39, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Comment. I guess with some work it might turn into something valid - there is something there.  However as it stands delete per nom. Nigel  (Talk) 09:41, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep per Uncle G - seems a valid topic to me. Dave 20:27, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep per Uncle G, but only if citations can be found. - Runch 21:31, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as unencyclopedic synthesis of recent surveys. Looks to run afoul of WP:OR even though some sources are given for specific facts.  Must be renamed to Car insurance in Ireland if kept.  Eluchil404 21:42, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete essay, per nom. --Vsion 00:06, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep with cleanup and references. This is a notable topic in Ireland. Mark with "does not cite its sources", and mark for cleanup on the [Wikipedia:Irish_Wikipedians%27_notice_board|Irish Wikipedians' Noticeboard]. Do not hastily delete this. Give people a chance.
