Is this page necessary? There is no reference listed and arguable, a category would better serve the purpose.

It has only one birth listed.

• Redirect to Edmund Tanner, whose c. 1526 birth was apparently the only notable event in Ireland that year. pburka (talk) 20:40, 8 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge the 152X in Ireland articles into 1520s in Ireland in the style of 1520s in England. Alternatively, redirect to 1526. the article is part of a series of years in Ireland so it doesn't make sense to delete this one independently. (also it's highly unlikely that only one thing happened in 1526 ) Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 20:54, 8 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak Keep or merge all of the 152x in Ireland to a new page, part of an established series on the list of years in Ireland. It's likely that there's more than one notable entry. For instance, MPs are considered to be notable passing
  WP:NPOL, there were MPs over Ireland in the 1500s, so it's possible that one was born in Ireland in 1526. My first choice would be keeping, but I am not opposed to merging all of the articles together into a decade article. Hog Farm (talk) 23:15, 8 June 2020 (UTC)[reply

• Keep Asking "Is this page necessary?" is not a valid reason for deletion. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 06:39, 9 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, if there's a better target article to merge to, then I'd support that. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 10:51, 9 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Lugnuts, merging all the 152x to 1520s in Ireland as suggested by User:Eddie891?

A lot of the "year pages" only have 1 or 2 events --

Makes sense. Unless someone unearths info on a ton of events from the 1520s! Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 11:16, 9 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• MERGE Some of the other articles of this nature such as at Category:16th century by country and elsewhere, have been merged to by decades instead. Short articles can be easily merged. Dream Focus 15:36, 10 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge There is an incredible lack of information in these articles. It is best to have everything from 1520's Ireland combined into one article.

  "new "births" won't be added"...why? How many people do you imagine were born in Ireland in 1526? Sarah777 (talk) 21:54, 11 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  At the very least, it could be expanded with Nicholas St Lawrence, 4th Baron Howth, Breasal Ó Madadhan, and perhaps William FitzWilliam (Lord Deputy) and Thomson Airways incident. Additionally, this 1851 book has a whole chapter on 1526 in Ireland. pburka (talk) 23:12, 11 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  Thomson Airways Flight 1526 has nothing to do with the year 1526. Two of the names you mentioned died on that year. Do the other articles like this mention people's deaths as well as births? If you find enough to make an article you can always break it out from where it was merged to. Dream Focus 04:46, 12 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  Deaths are usually included in these articles. The airplane was a joke. pburka (talk) 12:04, 12 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - it can be expanded. Spleodrach (talk) 22:41, 12 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Good for documenting several events that occurred in the said year. Personally I think these article should be left as is per above arguments and we need to avoid deletion of articles which have huge potential. Siddsg (talk) 10:56, 13 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge all of the 152x in Ireland to a new page - I quite support, due to the lack of content. 🌴Koridas🌴 (Negotiate) 15:59, 13 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge per Eddie891, Scorpions13256 ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 22:39, 15 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
