Article gives an indication that it is near one or two notable places. But being near isn't much use. Being there would be better and serve to be proper notable. It is "served by several forms of public transport including several routes of Dublin Bus and by the Dublin Suburban railway system" - what in Dublin or Ireland or the world isn't? Being two kilometres from Croke Park or a river doesn't help much. How about if they were actually there? One or two "traditional pubs" - I'm sure there's many's a village is Ireland that has at least three or four such pubs. There are plans to build a hospital. It is near another hospital. The government has more plans. All plans. It's a bit Crystalballish I'd think especially considering the government are cutting back and there is a recession. A sports team are located here but are soon moving away. Sums it all up really. An area that has nothing going for it. Its neighbours get everything.

- Keep Just as all villages are notable, so is any distinct political region, or a region that is close to that status. For neighborhoods, its worth arguing--I would want to discuss whether this is in fact a recognizedor historic neighborhood. DGG (talk) 05:17, 25 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Strong Keep As per long-established concensus, real villages are inherently notable. Edward321 (talk) 16:00, 25 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: It describes itself as very near a lot of things notable in their own right. Yet it has nothing worth mentioning for itself. If all the nears were removed we would have a line saying it is a place in Dublin. There would be no other way of establishing notability. --Balloholic (talk) 16:08, 25 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
