Irish budget, 2011

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Although this budget is a very severe one for the Irish people, this edition (nor any others) is important enough for inclusion in an encyclopedia. Night of the Big Wind talk  17:23, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Question Does the nominator seriously claim that this topic has not received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject?  Cusop Dingle (talk) 18:16, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Please note: The nominator was also blocked for disruption yesterday as evidenced from their talk page. Don't know how relevant that is but if they have been disruptive as recently as yesterday... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.40.106.131 (talk) 18:17, 6 December 2011 (UTC)

 * Oppose - Very important and very notable event. Article has lots of reliable sources. Though all Irish budget articles could be merged into one article. Snappy (talk) 19:32, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Oppose - National budgets are notable economic events in any country at any time. The economy is a key driver of the life of a nation and shapes its history profoundly. The budget is one of the most notable elements in an economy. A national budget is important by definition. It is considerably more notable than any restaurant, about which the nominator writes frequently in Wikipedia. — O'Dea  (talk) 07:05, 7 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Very important event in the history of Ireland and very notable with plenty of reliable sources to back it up, should not even be considered for deletion.--Fernandosmission (talk) 19:33, 7 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep on the same basis as the 2012 article. Importance does not decline for non-current events. A national budget of any large country will always have sufficient coverage to meet the guidelines.  DGG ( talk ) 10:45, 13 December 2011 (UTC)
