The result was keep and cleanup. -- Black Falcon ^(Talk) 04:40, 7 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Closer's note: There is a consensus to preserve at least part of the articles' content. Thus, I am tagging both articles with {{cleanup-afd}} and am leaving a note at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Ireland to make the project's members aware of the them. Any trimming and/or merge is left to editors' discretion. -- Black Falcon ^(Talk) 04:40, 7 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Durrus and District History Modern[edit]

I am also nominating the following page for the same reason:

trim, wikify and merge both back into Durrus. Chris 22:24, 1 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Agree (with regret) with Chris - This is a potentially valuable article on a district in the southwest of Ireland. They are potentially good articles, but are not (in my view) suitable in this form for WP. However I hope that the material will be saved elsewhere. It could then be uploaded (as a number of separate pages) to a dedicated website. This should then be summarised into a WP article. The present content (bot the articles mentioned and also Durrus and District History 1700-1900 would make a very satisfactory series of webpages on a website devoted to Durrus, but it is all much too long for an encyclopaedia.

Keep or merge but without unnecessary trimming. On a brief look appears interesting, and Wikipedia is not paper, i.e. there is space for detail. Palmiro | Talk 19:43, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, but do a major amount of trimming. An encyclopedic history article should be written in respect to the most salient points of the city/state/district in question. For example, in History of Minneapolis, Minnesota, I included a pretty significant chunk of material about Fort Snelling and St. Anthony Falls, since they had so much impact on the city, but I didn't mention a thing about the city's phone system. Maybe the people at Wikipedia:WikiProject Ireland could help edit or rewrite this article. --Elkman ^(Elkspeak) 02:51, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
