[edit] Irish National Treasure

No such award exists; if it's an opinion rather than an award, it's inherently POV Demiurge 12:44, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

• Weakest delete, without prejudice, absent verification. I do know about national treasures of Japan, which include a number of living people designated as "living natural treasures" because they carry on Japanese cultural traditions. This seems to be an informal title. It seems possible that a similar designation exists in Ireland, Google search reveals some results [1] and were some verifiable source given, I would keep this in an instant.

• Delete, as per nom. I'm irish; "National Treasure" is used in the UK and Ireland to designate some whimsy believed by some to be of national importance, or more often, to embody some glorious, but mythic, national characteristic. Unfortunately, there is no designation "Irish National Treasure" and the only two items listed are certainly not treasures, national or otherwise. robindch 16:59, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Non-notable dictdef. Author even states that this is not widely known about even in Ireland. WP:NPOV violation - author's own opinions.  (aeropagitica)  22:14, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. This is not only not widely known in Ireland, I would assert that it is barely known at all here. It's a POV list. Stifle 00:49, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
