The result was delete, as having no content, beyond a copyvio of tangentially related statistics from [1]. After removing the copyvio, what is left is "Derrytresk is a place outside coalisland" and "This place is legendary,", which constitutes a csd a1. - Bobet 13:04, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Derrytresk

Derrytresk (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Non-notable place - just a group of houses near a Coalisland. Article is a vandal magnet, with most edits originating from a vandal IP (a local college) that appears to be creating random articles for experimentation

• Delete per nom --Tagishsimon (talk) 20:42, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
• Speedy Keep precedent says locations are notable, precedent says this includes Irish townlands, this official government sitre confirms DerryTresk is a townland [2]]. AfD is not a way to deal with vandalism. Nuttah68 21:01, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
• Delete: A non-notable location. Entirely unreferenced and much of the content reads much like a joke. The primary contributor doesn't seem to have much going for him either. Seicer (talk) (contribs) 21:56, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
  • This is the main thrust of my argument- whether the place exisys or not, the article is a farce. The place itself (I live near it) is literally a couple of fields and some houses.
• Keep per Nuttah68, a govermentally-recognized community is inherently notable, even if its article is not good. ObtuseAngle 22:06, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
• Weak keep assuming gov'tal sources pan out. -- Dhartung | Talk 05:57, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
• Delete - can I also add that the article refers to govt. sources and not once names Derrytresk, but does name the nearby Washing Bay (which does exist and has a bus service - it also has a nice beach on Lough Neagh). More evidence this article is a hoax, I'm afraid Trenwith 17:23, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
• Keep - Real town. Towns, cities, villages are inherently notable regardless of size. An article that gets vandalized a lot is not a reason to delete it (I've lost track of how many vanadalism reverts I've done on Los Angeles). --Oakshade 00:51, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
  • there's a difference here- the LA article isn't garbage; you can find LA on a map; if you drove through LA, you would notice it; 'Los Angeles' is not a local name for a couple of fields. Derrytresk, on the other hand.... Trenwith 17:20, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
• Delete - contents of this page appear to have nothing to do with Derrytresk, but with Washing Bay. Page has been oft-edited from one location- apparently as a joke. Contents are rubbish. Whether Derrytresk is real or not, this page has no place in its current form Blowmonkey 20:09, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
• Weak Keep Concur with Oakshade. However it must be made more relevant to its ownself not Washing Bay. JBEvans 17:59, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
