• Comment AfD might be a bit premature for this. The article is in the past tense, referring to a place that used to exist. In fact the Killiney article states In the first half of the twentieth century, the Electoral Division of North Killiney still consisted of a small village at its center and a number of suburban roads lined with large houses.

• Comment, no mention of any historical context in the article - its purely OR and also I never heard of the place and I am the Oracle--Vintagekits 23:59, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

• Comment North Killiney was a distinct working-class area of South Dublin. One Night In Hackney₃₀₃ 00:06, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

• Comment. your right sorry, what I probably meant was that text describes it as a mordern place.--Vintagekits 13:44, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

  • The area described was open fields before it was Sallynoggin, Avondale Close etcetera - and Sallynoggin was built (and know as Sallynoggin) in the 1940s - so this "working class area" certainly wasn't in the locations described. (Sarah777 00:18, 1 May 2007 (UTC))

• It would help if the original author gave some reference, any reference - that's what we asked for originally! If "North Killiney" is some historical area (that nobody living in or near it seems to have heard of) surely there must be some written record of that fact? (Sarah777 00:04, 1 May 2007 (UTC))

• Delete, searching Google Books and Google News Archive turns up 0 ghits (though plenty for Killiney and Killiney Hill). Fails WP:V. --Dhartung | Talk 05:27, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
• Delete I lived in Dublin for years and never heard of North Killiney as a area.--padraig3uk 13:27, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Well im Irish born and raised and I live in Glenageary which is beside "North Killiney" I have heard my son refer to the place north-western of killiney hill as "North Killiney" and have heard the phrase used quite regulary by locals. It used to be a bit of a run-down area as far as I can remember and Glenageary the place where I live is right in between " North Killiney " and Sallynoggin, and we do get a bit of stick from both ends. My point is that the place this writer is refering to does exist and im quite convinced that what he says is the truth as far as I know it. Maybe some pictures or links would be usefull but I think the page should be kept for a bit of fame for the misfourtuned kip! Pelserherbst

-my freind lives in north killzone lol! it used to be a kip now its grand because they have cleaned up all the graffitti and renovated houses. I still wouldnt walk around it at night tho! im from sallynoggin myself which is close enough, so all these yokes^ dont have a clue, im glad to see something on the internet for once on north kiliney. xx

Comment - the posts above are hoaxes. (Sarah777 20:07, 1 May 2007 (UTC))

Comment, well not exactly hoaxes but they are the first and only edits each of the accounts have made which screams of socks.--Vintagekits 20:10, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Yep, some messer(s) - if I may be so uncivil - is trying to see if they can insert an article into Wiki about a made-up name. (Sarah777 20:35, 1 May 2007 (UTC))

http://northkillineyinfo.wetpaint.com/ for fuck sake it does exist, its not a town or an district just a nickname for an area, get over it. (anonymous comment)

It really is time to delete this garbage. Or can we all invent an area and have Wiki ponder the issue forever? (Sarah777 22:05, 3 May 2007 (UTC))

why are you so upset about this.? get a fucking life. delete it if you wish fuckface

Tut Tut! Language! Yes, I'd go with a merge; if the semi-literates who wrote it had put it in "Killiney" in the first instance we'd have saved a lot of bother! (Sarah777 11:41, 5 May 2007 (UTC))

Merge with Killiney where (as One Night In Hackney points out above) it is already discussed: "In the first half of the twentieth century, the Electoral Division of North Killiney still consisted of a small village at its center and a number of suburban roads lined with large houses. A few modest cottages were occupied by working class locals and bohemian residents such as George Bernard Shaw, whose house, Torca Cottage, is close to the boundary with Dalkey."
