[edit] Stab City

This nickname for Limerick is already mentioned in the Limerick article. It's far less common than "The Big Smoke" (London) [1] or "Gunchester" (Manchester) [2], and neither of those nicknames have their own article. The topic is also covered by List of city nicknames. chocolateboy 20:33, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

• Redirect either to the List of city nicknames or Limerick. - Mgm|^(talk) 11:54, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

Adjusted my vote per Stifle. - Mgm|^(talk) 10:47, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

• Redirect to List of city nicknames. Not to Limerick. Redirecting to Limerick appears to violate NPOV. Stifle 01:08, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

nevertheless the moniker itself is a separate one. Both th Big Smoke and Gunchester deserve separate entries anyway, since there is a history behind both [ Smog and Gun crime ] . Therefore it should be left in. The words 'far less common' don't apply to Ireland. Ask any Irish person where Stab City is and they can tell you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.94.205.109 (talk • contribs)

• This has been included in the list of Ireland-related deletions.
• Redirect per above seems like best solution. -- JJay 00:59, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

• Redirect to Limerick. There is not a standardised method for city nicknames. Big Apple (for New York) has it's own article, but Charm city redirects to Baltimore. It seems that nicknames for cities or areas outside of the U.S. have not developed thier own articles or redirects (i.e. Geordieland, The Great Wen, The Smoke.

• Redirect if a big enough section grows up in Limerick then it can be separated later. Mozzerati 21:49, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
• During my time in Ireland I always heard it called "Knife City." I think we should Keep. Its notable and verifiable. The article as written is a perfectly acceptable little stub, with possibilities for expansion. If we do redirect, I think it should be to Limerick which already includes a reference to the nickname near the bottom of the article. TMS63112 16:48, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect, per discussion above. IanManka 05:10, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
