 * I agree, there doesn't seem to be any reason to keep this article. The article itself is orphaned, and a quick scroll about Google doesn't seem to suggest any reason why this street could be considered particularly notable. fuddlemark (befuddle me!) 14:34, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Whoops, I guess I didn't look hard enough. The rewrite gives us an article that should definitely be kept.  Well done, Mr Lyons ... fuddlemark (befuddle me!) 03:39, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Comment After reading the rewrite I will agree that it is a lot better article but I'm not sure it is notable in the same way other notable streets are bar the two literatry references. Are these references unique, were they made expecting the reader to recognise the street. Are there a significant number of people who haven't been to the street who will of heard of it.

 * Comment I think Joyce expected his readers to know Dublin intimately. If you took away the hospital and school, the street surely wouldn't qualify, but that's hypothetical - they both have been there a long time.   Dl yo ns 493   Ta lk  14:40, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Strong keep I've added substantially to the article and I'm sure a lot more could be said by someone who knows Dublin history better.   Dl yo ns 493   Ta lk  20:06, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep in light of rewrite by Dlyons493. TheMadBaron 20:47, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. I won't weep if it's deleted, but Dlyons493 has made good improvements to it, and from an Irish point of view, it's not completely non-notable&mdash; though I admit it's not exactly a Champs-Élysées or a Fifth Avenue. AnnH ♫ 21:05, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep per above Tom Harrison Talk 23:00, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep and rename to Heytesbury Street. Thanks to Dlyons493 for the rewrite which establishes notability as a street. Capitalistroadster 23:33, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep and Rename - seems notable enough in Irish history for me. Lankiveil 23:49, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. It is much better now.--Jusjih 12:47, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
