no assertion of notability. article is unsourced. New England Review Me! 02:21, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete The 1866 start date can be found [http://www.mageedonegal.com/mageestory.html on the company's website", but "Magee of Donegal" returns just 500 ghits, and the company, despite its long history, seems to be an ordinary nonnotable clothing retailer.

  • Delete Nothing showing that this is a notable clothing shop. i said 03:53, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep They seem to be referred to frequently just as Magee or as Magee and Co. These articles [1][2] describe them as very well known within Ireland. They also seem to receive some amount of notice in fashion writing, such as in this [3] magazine, but I'm not sure whether these are as notable as other types of coverage. Anyway, there's a number of business articles [4][5][6] relating to their production and profits. Sci girl 04:03, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep More important that their retailing business is their internationally notability of supplying Donegal tweed worldwide. Ghits of "Donegal tweed Magee" gives a more respectable 973. If they are not very notable I wonder why many travel companies advise that some of the best buys in Donegal are tweeds from Magee, and these are not Magee ads. Give it a chance, you just don't know it but in Ireland and with tourists it is very well known and the links above indicate its notability. ww2censor 04:40, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep It is a well-known company in Ireland, with a high name recognition factor, for lack of a better term and it's newsworthy ( with this as an example). FlowerpotmaN·(t) 04:58, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep I created the article, and admittedly, it's not brilliant. However, they are the last producers of tweed in Donegal, and as stated above, they are certainly well-known in the tourist literature. I think that adding to the article is preferable to deleting it outright. Pikiwedian 14:36, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
