 * Swift delete: Notability is not defined by having an eddie rockets outlet. --Balloholic (talk) 01:36, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment - This is the nominator voting again. You'd think after nominating so many articles for deletion, s/he'd know the rules by now. Snappy (talk) 08:37, 27 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment: You would think the above user would know the rules before they are waved in my face. They have been snapped at for only voting keep elsewhere. I think you all know me by now so your comment is irrelevant. Nobody else was voting delete or keep after six days. Thank you. --Balloholic (talk) 18:51, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Please don't be uncivil and tell lies about me. I do not only vote keep, but delete or merge as I see fit, as a quick search of my contributions will attest. Again, please stop lecturing me and stop spreading lies about me. Snappy (talk) 05:26, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment.Also after six days nobody thinks its notable to save. Everyone is ganging up to save other streets I've nominated but this one it seems is not worthy. --Balloholic (talk) 01:37, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - notable Dublin street. Snappy (talk) 08:37, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - notable Dublin street. Also, Balloholic read WP:IDONTLIKEIT again. Thanks!--Cerejota (talk) 09:16, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Given the complete lack of reasoning here, perhaps you may need a read of WP:ILIKEIT, yourself. --CalendarWatcher (talk) 13:07, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Where did I said I liked the article? I actually don't. It is simply notable, as per our own policies, and has its own encyclopedic logic. If we start picking and choosing, its a slippery slope. Next we would be deleting Faeroe Islands as non-notable. Thanks!--Cerejota (talk) 22:06, 27 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete--unless someone would care to offer some evidence that this is a 'notable Dublin street'? Other than the Eddie Rocket's, of course. --CalendarWatcher (talk) 13:06, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
 * OK, get ready: This notable as a Dublin city centre street and one that links two universally known streets, Grafton Street, and Dawson Street and also a commercial center, including a number of restaurants, among them an Eddie Rocket's, which makes it a hub for the drinking culture in Dublin, a solid an important part of Irish culture in general. A reader exploring the geographical space occupied by the specific Irish sociology, would be well served by an encyclopedic article pointing out the notability of this street, hence the encyclopedic value. We would be doing a disservice to our readers and ourselves. if we deleted. Thanks!--Cerejota (talk) 22:03, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Those streets are obviously not universally known. If they were I'd know about them. Besides, if we call every street linking two notable streets notable itself, there'd be no end to the streets we'd include. If we are going to call something with commercial businesses notable we're going way into mall territory (also contentious). While an article would possibly serve readers, this stub doesn't because there's too little to tell about the place. - Mgm|(talk) 17:21, 28 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep - Just about every street in the city centre of a city as historic and significant as Dublin is notable and likely to be the subject of multiple government and historic documents. Even a brief g-book search brings up secondary sources --Oakshade (talk) 19:56, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete (A7). This entry does not show how the road is notable. - Mgm|(talk) 20:05, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Being a Dublin city centre street and one that links two universally known streets is an assertion of notability and not a candidate for A7.--Oakshade (talk) 20:15, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment - There are countless city centre streets and linking so-called "two universally known streets" (Dublin I imagine is not even a universally known city!) is not a reason for keeping either. While the user may have used hasty phrasing it is still a good argument for at the very least a strong delete. --Cerejota (talk) 03:41, 30 December 2008 (UTC)ic|Balloholic]] (talk) 01:17, 28 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete. If this were speedied, I would have A7'd it without a second thought. It is yet another totally non-notable street with the usual suspects (which I will refer to hereafter as the "Irrelevant Dublin Street Cabal"), none of which appear to have ever read WP:N, trying to keep it. Once again for everyone: Just because it is VERIFIABLE doesn't mean it is NOTABLE. Trusilver  01:41, 28 December 2008 (UTC)
 * If you has deleted it via speedy, you would have been wrong, for it is not among the classes of articles that can be speedied via A7-- and WP:CSD is unambiguously clear about that.


 * Delete I do not see that this one is notable. Not every downtown street in the city is, and unless more can be said, it does not seem appropriate for an article. A great many are, of course, but we do not help the cause of including proper articles on them by trying to defend articles on streets like this. Conversely, we will find it easier to delete streets like this if people refrain from trying to delete the more notable.  DGG (talk) 05:26, 28 December 2008 (UTC)
 * You mean to rob our readers of the ability to locate such a central feature to contemporary Irish pub culture? I am taken aghast, dear sir, aghast, I say, Good day! --Cerejota (talk) 05:47, 28 December 2008 (UTC)


 * looks like the beginning of a substantial discussion but I can't see the rest of it. Regarding drinking culture, Kehoe's Pub might be worth a mention for its "genuine exterior". Also this was a fashionable shopping centre back in 1836 and the scene of a horse fair, which appears to have caused a bit of a fuss.  Juzhong (talk) 11:05, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
 * This is great material, notability doesn't expire, so the cite from 1836 is very important. Those for deletion should be advised to read it. Are we really going to delete a notable street because we don't know it to be notable? Thanks!--Cerejota (talk) 12:35, 29 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Reply - We Know it is not notable. Stop trying to disrupt this discussion and infuriate other editors. Behave Cerejota. --Balloholic (talk) 12:44, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Since you "know" it is not notable, this should not be regarded as a discussion but as a vote. Juzhong (talk) 21:15, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Not only that, but the pot calling the kettle black is lulz. Now, as sources proving notability have been provided, I think this should be closed as keep, unless, of course, editors care to provide evidence that counter that presented. Thanks!--Cerejota (talk) 03:41, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
