Notability of mayors

Mayors or Cathaoirligh of Irish cities or other local government areas are not presumed to be notable under WP:POLITICIAN, or specifically under WP:NSUBPOL. However, I’d propose two exceptions:

• the Lord Mayor of Dublin, being the first citizen of the capital and largest city (and in practice all mayors dating to 1873 have an article); and
• the Limerick Mayor, being a directly-elected office with a five-year term.

(For clarity, I’m referring to the individuals holding these offices, not the articles on the offices themselves). Iveagh Gardens (talk) 15:03, 6 June 2024 (UTC)

Review requested on Draft:Malachy Steenson

Hi, this recently elected councillor has had a lot of press coverage down the years which merits notability under WP:POLITICIAN. I would appreciate a review to have this moved to article mainspace. 51.37.25.21 (talk) 12:52, 10 June 2024 (UTC)

Pedantic point about MEPs

According to a tweet by Gavan Reilly (which I can't link to - I only saw a screenshot of it and I'm not on that site any more, but his account is @gavreilly), MEPs only take office on July 17, so the TDs who were elected as MEPs stay as TDs until July 16. I'm not proposing we go change anything back, but some may want to. Bastun^{Ėġáḍβáś₮ŭŃ!} 17:57, 14 June 2024 (UTC)

We probably should! If people can't rely on Wikipedia to be accurate, what can they rely on! Iveagh Gardens (talk) 17:41, 22 June 2024 (UTC)

Secularism in the Republic of Ireland

The article has been tagged for original research, neutral point of view and being written like an essay for over four years now. Would this be the right forum to ask if anyone can take a look at it and improve it? (I'm not sure I have the knowledge or background to do so.) Autarch (talk) 14:15, 28 June 2024 (UTC)

Done: from talk: "Five years on, it had a lot of tags, which on quick reflection I have removed. The discussion above was when the article was called Quiet Revolution (Republic of Ireland). It seems broadly ok to me now, but if not, it's probably best to start again." Some pics would be nice. Johnbod (talk) 14:47, 28 June 2024 (UTC)

FWIW, I have addressed (and raised) additional issues with this article. At Talk:Secularism in the Republic of Ireland. Discussion can continue there. Guliolopez (talk) 16:15, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
