River Avonmore

 * Speedy keep. The nominator has less than 200 edits, the vast majority of which seem to involve nominating articles for deletion.  His time would be better served adding easily found references/sources rather than trying to delete everything he's never heard of himself.  Clicking on the template links above gives about 6,700 results from Google and 537 results from Google Books.  Clearly a notable topic.  And I would point out that a river only needs one source... ;-)  Bastun Ėġáḍβáś₮ŭŃ! 18:21, 21 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep I added one ref. It also features in various 19th century Cyclopaedias (e.g. this), partly due to the place of Thomas Moore's poem Meeting of the Waters. AllyD (talk) 18:35, 21 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. Agree with Bastun : this river is worth keeping; per it's coverage on google, per the roughly 20 articles linking to it and per common sense.   benzband  ( talk ) 18:39, 21 December 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep - A classic example of staring an AfD without being familiar with WP:AFD guidelines. From WP:AFD: "If you find that adequate sources do appear to exist, the fact that they are not yet present in the article is not a proper basis for a nomination."  --Oakshade (talk) 23:25, 22 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep - it waters 1,000s of sheep and gives the name to Avonmore House, home of Paul McGuinness. Also flows past the homes of John Boorman and Paddy Moloney. Sure they'd be lost without it.Red Hurley (talk) 11:25, 23 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete - 'tis only an Irish river musha and begorragh. Sarah777 (talk) 19:14, 26 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. I hold that all rivers are inherently notable. As sources can be found easily for this river and there is no suggestion that it is a hoax article, this should be an easy call. --John (talk) 19:46, 26 December 2011 (UTC)
