Metro Hotel Dublin fire

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

WP:NOTNEWS applies. red dogsix (talk) 23:37, 21 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete - No casualties (fortunately) and the building is not notable in itself. Without any lasting significance, I do not see how this isn't yet another story in the news.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 23:44, 21 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep. Wide media coverage as of now. If not, rename to Metro Hotel (Dublin) and rewrite as article about hotel. 91.124.117.29 (talk) 03:15, 22 March 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete seven floors is a pretty big fire, but that seems to be as far as it goes. No evidence this is going to see significant, lasting coverage. 92.10.188.218 (talk) 14:06, 22 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep. It's major news now., Google News search - Mardus /talk 17:55, 22 March 2018 (UTC)
 * "Major" is a stretch and we aren't the news anyways.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 18:45, 22 March 2018 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom. Doesn't meet WP:EVENTCRITERIA (as is effectively a routine news events without additional enduring significance). And nothing to indicate it meets WP:LASTING (as doesn't seem to be an event which is a precedent or catalyst for something else). Put simply, as noted by others above, this seems like a classic case of WP:NOTNEWS. Guliolopez (talk) 12:53, 23 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete or redirect with selective merge to Ballymun. A few sentences about the building with a mention of the fire would fit well, in a relatively article that stands in need of improvement/updating. This building is, for Ireland/Dublin, fairly notable -  one of the Tallest buildings in Ireland, although it does not appear to have been added to on Wikipedia's list.  And the fire has attracted significant attention, enough to make it a likely search term.E.M.Gregory (talk) 18:03, 23 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Ballymun. Plausible search term. PhilKnight (talk) 00:42, 29 March 2018 (UTC)
