The result was soft delete. WP:REFUND applies. However, if restoration is requested, it should be limited to only the most recent version as the earlier ones were deleted due to copyright violations. RL0919 (talk) 22:41, 16 December 2019 (UTC)

Non-notable house. Fails both WP:GNG and WP:NBUILDING. The sources that are offered in the article (which, I might note, represent significant WP:REFBOMBING) are all street directory style listings, "mentions in passing" (where the house is not the primary subject, but is mentioned in a discussion about another subject), or otherwise not reliable sources (dead links, blogs, a Google search of all things, and sites like geoview.info). What limited content that was here (deleted as copyvio since) was lifted verbatim from [http://landedestates.nuigalway.ie/LandedEstates/jsp/estate-show.jsp?id=2557 this website]. Which deals primarily with the "landed" family who once owned the house. And in which the house gets a passing mention. Along with their other multiple properties. But not enough to establish notability. (Certainly no more than the several thousands other homes mentioned on that website.) When removing the PROD tag (now also obfuscated because of the, entirely correct, deletion of the copyvio'ed revisions), the author claimed that [https://www.ireland.anglican.org/news/8644/finding-the-kinmonths-in-shandon this webpage] established notability. But that webpage barely covers the house in passing. And, as with the other refs, confirms that it once existed. But doesn't discuss the house, its architecture, construction, history, use, or anything else that might establish notability. As far as I can tell (from a search for ACTUAL references), the house was not a listed building, was not especially architecturally relevant, and of no material historic importance. That attempts have been made to establish "notability through association" (of the people who may have lived there) is inconsequential. As notability is not inherited. And is certainly not inherited by the "things people once owned". Guliolopez (talk) 20:34, 9 December 2019 (UTC)
