Talk:Doolin - Wikipedia

Names I've added are all notable individuals who have played multiple seasons in Doolin's pubs, or have guested there so often that they deserve mention. To Hohenloh: How can a banjo player from Dublin possibly justify removing the name Kevin Griffin from a list of players of Doolin? All-Ireland banjo winner Kevin Griffin has been a pillar of the Doolin scene for most of his life, and deserves mention, as do the others listed. Legends don't require internet presence to be on wikipedia. I do recognize that this article does need citations, but as it has NONE as of yet, I offer thess contributions in all fairness and for accuracy's sake (I am personally not one of the mentioned names, just to make that clear).

Not sure you can truly claim "One of Doolin's claims to fame is that it is the main setting for the PlayStation 3 game Folklore. According to the game's storyline, the Netherworld, the world of the dead is a realm that can only be accessed from one place in the world, the sea-side village of Doolin." I really don't most of Doolin's residents know or care about the PS3 game. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.81.157.78 (talk) 04:35, 15 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

A significant amount of this page reads like it was copied from the Doolin tourist board. 92.236.228.83 (talk) 08:50, 31 May 2009 (UTC)Reply

Regardless of whether the names should ultimately be in the article, their unsourced addition has been challenged by multiple editors, so you have no basis for replacing them unless you can fix that. Yes, there are plenty of other unsourced statements in the article, but we've taken special note of a slew of names being added who do not currently have articles, and so we have no way to judge whether they are notable.

Nothing requires an internet presence to be on Wikipedia. Print sources will suffice. See Wikipedia:Reliable sources. So please provide a print source, or any other suitable source, establishing that 1) these individuals have played in Doolin and 2) that they are sufficiently notable to be mentioned in this article. Otherwise, don't replace the names. postdlf (talk) 20:21, 19 April 2010 (UTC)Reply
