Lacks notability, possible hoax? THobern 08:37, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

• Comment - Seems to be real[1] [2]. I dunno if he's notable, suspect he would be if the internet had existed back then. SolidPlaid 09:03, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
• Keep, the article is well-written, it seems everyone in Dublin knew who this guy were, and he is mentioned in sources. Keep Wikipedia weird. 96T 13:20, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
• Keep - Bang Bang was real and not a hoax, but alas he is not well known now that he is dead over 30 years. You will need to be over 40 or 45 to remember him, so many internet savvy editors will not know him. Cheers ww2censor 13:21, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
• Keep - not a hoax, notable enough to be mentioned elsewhere. --sony-youth^pléigh 14:37, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
• Keep He seems to have been a notable and fondly remembered gentleman. --Victor falk 01:05, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
• Keep Definitely not a hoax and should not be deleted. Referred to in many plays and stories about Dublin of the early part of the 20th century --dmrtn 12.47, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
• Keep: Everyone "of a certain age" in Dublin remembers Bang Bang. As noted above, he died before the internet age hence the lack of Google results. Scolaire 13:27, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
• Note: This debate has been included in the list of History-related deletions. --Gavin Collins 10:32, 25 September 2007 (UTC)--
• Keep I'm not of the certain age, arriving on the planet around the end of Bang Bang's gun-totin' phase, but again, per above, Bang Bang was a well-known character that is possibly remembered more in oral history rather than print. FlowerpotmaN·(t) 22:15, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
