- Keep - I would think any street in central Dublin, no less one with Trinity College and the Royal Irish Academy of Music on it [1], is notable. This street seems to be important in the Irish literary world. Very noted poet James Stephens wrote "Westland Row" [2]. An entire book is called "Westland Row" that's a collection of written works from early Trinity College.[3]. Even Oscar Wilde was born on this street.[4] Westland Row even had a major railroad station named after it, Westland Row Station (renamed Pearse Station in the 1960s).[5]. --Oakshade (talk) 15:56, 20 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep as per Oakshade; we have reams of articles on streets in New York, Washington DC, etc., so any suggestion that a major street in Dublin is not notable is systemic bias. I would also encourage the nominator to expand his rationale beyond "non-notable". Stifle (talk) 18:26, 20 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
