That beats Banagher! - Wrong Banagher, apparently

According to the following Irish Times article from 1931 the "beats Banagher" comment is connected with Banagher in Co. Derry: http://www.irishtimes.com/news/that-beats-banagher-1.318057 Does anybody have a reliable source to contradict this? Dáibhí Ó Bruadair (talk) 10:43, 13 January 2016 (UTC)Reply

The most widely accepted explanation for this phrase is given in the article and referenced to 1870. Trollope backs this up in 1883, writing about his time spent in Banagher. I can only assume that whoever wrote the Irish Times article in 1931 was mistaken.Corcs999 (talk) 20:13, 13 January 2016 (UTC)Reply

Result: With thanks to Corcs999, this GAR is a success. Article kept. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 10:31, 8 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

A GA from 2008. There's some uncited material such as

  • Riverside mammals are seen frequently and Eurasian otter, American mink and red fox are common. Trout and salmon are less common in the Shannon than they once were, however pike is still plentiful and attracts anglers.
Cited Corcs999 (talk) 20:26, 25 January 2023 (UTC)Reply
  • and most recently Páirc Uí Chaoimh in Cork. Other notable employers include Banagher Sawmills and the cruise liner businesses located at the marina.
Cited Corcs999 (talk) 20:26, 25 January 2023 (UTC)Reply
  • Banagher was once a centre for river transportation on the Shannon system. River transportation fell into decline with the advent of rail and road transportation improvements. Banagher is still a centre for river cruisers, with a number of hire companies operating the town's marina.
Cited Corcs999 (talk) 20:26, 25 January 2023 (UTC)Reply
  • The entire religion section
Religion section removed and Places of Worship Updated and cited Corcs999 (talk) 20:26, 25 January 2023 (UTC)Reply
  • Although the British garrison had left the town in 1863, the barracks were looted and burned shortly after the signing of the Anglo-Irish Treaty of 1921–22.
Updated and cited Corcs999 (talk) 21:45, 25 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

And more, along with an original research tag for

  • Banagher's greatest literary association is probably[original research?] with Anthony Trollope, who had been employed by the General Post Office in 1835 and was sent to Ireland in September 1841 at the age of 26.

Also an update using the new census would be good. Onegreatjoke (talk) 15:00, 25 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

The most recent census data is included (2016). 2022 census results are not available yet. Corcs999 (talk) 19:27, 25 January 2023 (UTC)Reply
Corcs999 significant material is still uncited. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 10:23, 1 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
That may be the case - I cited everything that was highlighted and can only deal with specifics. Corcs999 (talk) 19:41, 1 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
Are you able to source the remaining {{citation needed}} tags Corcs999? ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 12:20, 3 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
Done. Corcs999 (talk) 13:44, 7 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
