The result was merge anything useful into Dublin. Since I don't know what's useful and the people who should know better at Talk:Dublin don't think it's useful, I've just redirected and placed a notice there. If someone disagrees and thinks there's more to merge, they are free to get it from the history of this article. - Bobet 09:56, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] West Dublin

Reasons for nom:

• Article does not refer to a defined geographical, geopolitical or cultural term.
• Subjective POV content and weasel words. ("It is thought that...", and "used more by Journalists ... based in Dublin 4 ... to indicate anywhere among the new suburbs ... (with) ... lower socio-economic profile.")
• No sources/references provided.
• Limited value as encyclopedic article. (Opening intro even suggests that topic is not notable: "neither a formal administrative area, nor has it any historical significance")
• Redundant given that there are plenty of articles which cover the topic and which do refer to defined geographical, geopolitical and otherwise defined concepts. (Namely: Greater Dublin Area, Dublin Region, Fingal, Dublin postal districts, and the other constituents of Category:Geography of Dublin)

• Support as the nomination. Djegan 18:43, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
• Support for the same reasons. ww2censor 20:06, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
• Merge anything useful into Dublin then redirect. If the term is in use - even if only by journalists - then we should have something that can be searched on. Grutness...wha? 00:36, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
• Merge anything useful into Dublin then redirect, but to Dublin West. Stu ^{’Bout ye!} 08:30, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
• Merge and redirect as per Stubacca and Grutness. Aye-Aye 14:34, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
• Merge and rewrite I live in West Dublin and the term is used quite a lot when describing the areas from Inchicore out and from Tallaght to Blanchardstown. Pretty much every where in that vector is considered west Dublin and completely distinct from Dublin West. As written the article is useless (and definitely POV!) but perhaps a place can be had for West Dublin on the main Dublin page. I suggest a rewrite, then put that info in Dublin page, redirecting West Dublin to Dublin. If not, Rewrite west Dublin and keep. Dodge 16:15, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
• Merge and Cite - We are not sure, perhaps nobody uses that name —Argentino (talk/cont.) 21:15, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
• Merge per Stubacca and Seidodge, Tewfik^Talk 20:05, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
