This list was a fork from Irish Americans in March, 2006, and as far as I can tell it's never passed WP:LISTN at any point since. The selection criteria are ambiguous, and only Boston is sourced. I don't think it can be sourced reliably without some kind of criteria, but editors have never reached consensus on that question. ~T P W 20:05, 1 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment, not much is salvageable here. Many of them aren't even verifiable through sources on the blue linked pages. I could see a list here, but I don't think this is a starting point. —siro χ o 21:21, 1 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Indiscriminate list without clear/consistent/verifiable criteria. No indication if or how WP:NLIST would apply. Certainly no indication that the list members have "been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources". I mean, what do Fackler, Alabama and Burien, Washington have to do with each other? (Other than that the article on neither subject, as with many many others in the list, make any mention of any Irish connection or population? Of any kind?) WP:CSC issues are also a significant concern. As noted, this seems unsalvageable. Guliolopez (talk) 21:30, 1 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Unless everything on the list has a reference calling it an Irish community, nothing can be done with it. Dream Focus 20:41, 2 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - The communities listed obviously exist and have notability, but they do not appear to be notable because they have an Irish-American community (see WP:SELCRIT, If this person/thing/etc. weren't X, would it reduce their fame or significance?). The answer in this case is clearly and emphatically, "No." Cheers, Last1in (talk) 16:07, 4 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
