No indication of notability, no reliable sources, appears promotional in nature. GregJackP  Boomer!   23:07, 15 August 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep - Looks like a real village to me.  The article was and still is a promotional mess.  I've cleaned it up somewhat and moved it to "Doonshean" as that is the English language name (this is English Wikipedia). --Oakshade (talk) 02:49, 17 August 2012 (UTC)

 * Why on earth have you done a thing like that? It's name is Dún Síon. Even the English-language media refers to it as that. You should change it for Dún Síon. The Doonshean thing looks more like a pronunciation guide for confused Americans, no doubt to stop them pronouncing it Dunce-Eye-On or some other such thing. It's practically original research, whereas there's an actual source for Dún Síon. You might as well have moved it to Dunce-Eye-On when you were at it. Or changed the name of its most famous native to Michael O'Muckerty.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.40.102.241 (talk) 04:39, 22 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep – Per Wikipedia's Five pillars, the encyclopedia also functions as a gazetteer, per Notability (geography) and per WP:MAPOUTCOMES. This is a verified townland. Northamerica1000(talk) 16:32, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep Per WP:NPLACE, as populated areas are inherently notable. I, Jethrobot  drop me a line (note: not a bot!) 19:22, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
