Is this article needed?

edit

It seems a little odd to me to have an article about the Merrion Gates.
I know that it has occasionally been in the news. Such as when there a truck that was too high crashed into the over-head cables on the last day of 2009, see: this article.
But is it important enough of a land-mark to be included in wikipedia?
I'd vote no.
My suggestion would be to include the information on merrion gates in an already existing article about the area. Pma jones (talk) 07:23, 5 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

WP:SOFIXIT: Either tag it with {{mergeto}} if you can find a better place for it, or propose it for deletion with {{prod}}. Rich(Contribs)/(Talk to me!) I can haz review plz? 07:33, 5 March 2010 (UTC)Reply
I belive it warrants it's own article. There is no harm. It is significant for many reasons as the level crossing is at a key junction for traffic and trains. Probably the most significant crossing point of traffic over the train tracks on the train route. Also, that it was a station on the Dublin to Kingstown railway. There is a chance that this station will be brought back to service given the recent developments in the area. --DubhEire (talk) 17:02, 12 March 2010 (UTC)Reply
