[edit] Deer Park, Co. Leitrim

Deer Park, Co. Leitrim (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Delete. This article is a weird mixture of garbled a garbled piece of local history and an attack page. Attempts appear to have been made to tidy it up, but I don't think there is anything worth salvaging. BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 17:14, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete Confusing and poorly written article. Nothing worth keeping here. NASCAR Fan24(radio me!) 17:26, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per WP:COATRACK. There is probably an article to be written about the place, but this certainly isn't it. --Dhartung | Talk 18:34, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak delete. Poor text, but still not entirely sure about the notability of it. An improvement would be good to see for this. BASE101() 19:11, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
    • I don't see any evidence of notability in the article itself. I know the area a little, and hadn't heard of the deer park, and all that I can find on google are a few references in the Manorhamilton area to roads named after it. I suspect that there is or was a deer park in the area, but an article on it would need some credible evidence of using reliable sources. If this is deleted someone may write a proper article which actually demonstrates at least a hint of notability, but there's nothing in this version to improve on: it needs a complete rewrite from the sources. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 19:51, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. There is a small area near Manorhamilton called Deerpark (more often rendered as one word from what I can see) and as BrownHairedGirl pointed out, there are a few roads named after it, but I can't see anything that couldn't be included in the Manorhamilton article. (Although very little from the existing article: "In 1815 Napoleon Bonaparte, the great French general, rested his forces in Deer Park"... made me laugh.) FlowerpotmaN·(t) 21:07, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Hoax, hoax, hoaxity hoax... Delete. IF (and it's a big if) this place DOES really exist, the article would need a total rewrite anyway, so I reckon we'd best just delete this, as it certainly falls foul of WP:NPOV.--Voxpuppet (talk • contribs) 09:11, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
