[edit] The name

I hear there is a rock associated with St. Declan on the beach in Co Waterford that is said to cure back pain. ANyone got a source on that one?Dmccabe 02:53, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
Well i'm a teenager and my names Declan, FYI nicknames= Dex/Ducky/Dec/D-Clan... its a great name and has gotten me alot of girl friends keep with it.
[edit] Namesakes
Is it just me or does there appear to be a trend developing for people called Declan to add their names to this article? I'm sure that Declan Mc Aughey, Declan Gilbert, Declan Kidd and Declan Sharkey are great guys, but do they meet the criteria for an article in Wikipedia? 81.156.156.181 20:37, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
The same question must surely be asked about the latest addition - Declan Garnett 81.157.70.139 16:52, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
And Tom Quinn? It all seemed pointless, so I deleted the whole lot of them. If any of these Declans are worthy of interest, then perhaps write an independent page for each of them and by all means pop them back in. Dmccabe 02:53, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
