Delete - Per nom, the term "Trans-Dublin" doesn't seem to have any existence (and hence no coverage or RS) outside of Wikipedia. It would therefore seem to fail WP:GNG and WP:OR. Whatever content can be sourced could be readily merged to Dublin Suburban Rail or similar. Guliolopez (talk) 13:01, 3 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Delete as Hoax ~~- Tagged as such - The whole system is called Dublin Area Rapid Transit~~ - There is no "Trans Dublin" and this proves it. It's a clever hoax but still a hoax nonetheless. –Davey2010^Talk 13:02, 3 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Also just to note DART themselves make no mention of this supposed name and yet they run services on it!. –Davey2010^Talk 13:08, 3 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed. However, I'm not sure "blatant/deliberate hoax" is fair. Over the years I have seen other articles of this type which were (at best) OR and CRYSTAL in tone. Perhaps, I expect, prompted by green optimism. Though, perhaps, not by deliberate deception. Whatever the motivation, this should be deleted. IMO.Guliolopez (talk) 13:48, 3 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed in all fairness the article's been here since 2007 so maybe it's not deliberate, I wonder whether at the time of creation whether "Trans-Dublin" was a short lived unreported name .... Seems odd that there's a route map as well as it being listed in nav boxes .... If it was a hoax surely no one would've gone to those sort of lengths to hide it as a hoax ? .... Seems too much effort ?, Dunno but nothing on Google confirms this ever was a thing. –Davey2010^Talk 14:32, 3 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
