Gaelscoil na Daróige

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Reached the 2 week limit on WP:PNT, with no one stepping forward to do the translation. Per PNT, untranslated articles older than 2 weeks go to AfD. I suggest Delete unless someone steps up before closing, translates and demonstrates notability.  AK Radecki  03:51, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment OK, so it's a Gaelic-language independent school in Derry, N.I. Seems stubbable if notable, regardless of translation. But the contact is a hotmail address, which doesn't inspire confidence. Passes WP:V, no indication it passes WP:N. --Dhartung | Talk 08:27, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, without prejudice to re-creation; preferably under an English language title. The prescribed rites have been well and duly performed. - Smerdis of Tlön 15:06, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment Technically, the Irish name as given is the officially recognized name of the school. Flowerpotman  talk|contribs 03:17, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep, article has been translated into English. - Smerdis of Tlön 16:45, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:PNT. (Hey, that's the first time I've ever cited that in an AfD. Woohoo!)    RGTraynor  16:53, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep: I was all set to keep my Delete vote intact, especially when I popped over to the Irish Google and saw only 19 hits other than Wikipedia. The rub is that those 19 hits include a BBC radio piece about the school, a speech noted on the Sinn Fein website and an article in the Belfast Telegraph.  That handily passes WP:V.   RGTraynor  07:06, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment - would you mind adding the last 2 refs to the article? AKRadecki  14:41, 27 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Weak Delete. No problem understanding the article and could translate it, but doubtful if it's notable. A Gaelscoil opened after active efforts when other Gaelscoils were too far away to attend and the children would have had to attend school in English if this school had not been created.

 * Weak Delete per JdeJ, unless there is more by way of notability provided. I can follow the gist of the article, but the school is still a primary school (or grade school).  Flowerpotman  talk|contribs 03:17, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Neutral (or weak neutral, if such a view is possible). I'm not sure that it passes notability, but I'm not sure that it doesn't. Flowerpotman  talk|contribs 00:49, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Don't Delete I have translated the article! Lughlamhfhada 20:02, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
 * weak keep - As the article has now been translated, I'm striking my "delete" comment in the nom. While I disagree personally with the practice of viewing all schools as notable, I do respect the fact that there is a wider consensus that they are. Given that there's a wider political and linguistic/cultural aspect to this issue, it'd be nice if someone could find a ref or two - even local news coverage - for this school.

 * I am having a few technical problems with RealAudio tonight (in the sense of it not working), so I'm not quite sure of the content, but there is an audio archive of a piece done on the school for the Mark Patterson show on BBC Radio Foyle, the local BBC radio station. There's a list of archive pieces for the show here, with the Gaelscoil Na Daroige link half-way down the page. (RealAudio link here). I can't find any other online references as yet, but I'm sure there must be somewhere. Flowerpotman  talk|contribs 22:36, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks...I've added it to the EL section of the article. AKRadecki  22:42, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
