No evidence of notability, most sources I found were trivial and did not meet WP:ORGDEPTH. Article seems promotional overall. JayJayWhat did I do? 05:15, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

<div class="xfd_relist" style="border-top: 1px solid #AAA; border-bottom: 1px solid #AAA; padding: 0px 25px;"> Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: Of note is the article was significantly rewritten and reworked after the nomination for deletion, which also included the addition of seven new sources. An analysis from other users regarding those sources would benefit this discussion at this time.
 * Delete Fails WP:GNG. Megtetg34 (talk) 00:04, 26 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete. In terms of the applicable criteria (WP:GNG and WP:NORG), while there is some news and industry coverage of the subject (for example this tag-based topic in one of the main newspapers of record in Ireland, the Irish Times), the subject is not the primary topic of the majority of coverage. For example, when sorting by relevance, the top news hits include articles like this. Where the subject is mentioned, but the primary topic is something else. Created by apparent COI profile, and so WP:NOTHERE and WP:PROMO concerns are raised. Guliolopez (talk) 12:40, 29 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep. "Promotional," per the nomination? Quite the reverse. The IPSO was an obscure part of the plumbing of the Irish banking system before post-Euro integration of Irish payments made it less necessary. The four big banks that controlled it preferred to keep the IPSO invisible to ordinary users.  Most of us prefer not to think about how payments and cash withdrawals make their way from the point of transaction back to our bank accounts, but this plumbing is still vital.  The article needs proper sourcing, which I will now try to do. Fiachra10003 (talk) 02:29, 2 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment - I've now rewritten the article almost in full. Fiachra10003 (talk) 14:31, 2 February 2021 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, North America1000 15:34, 2 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep. Plenty of valid sources. Could also rename/create new/then merge into/link to a "Banking in Ireland" article, but I think there's enough to justify its own article, maybe expand it a bit more.-- HistoricalAccountings (talk) 12:35, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
