Talk:Glastening

Questioning what this article is about
I've got Thornton's Glastonbury and the Glastening now. And William of Malmesbury on the Antiquity of Glastonbury William Wells Newell, PMLA, Vol. 18, No. 4 (1903), and The Origin of the Name of Glastonbury  Louis H. Gray Speculum, Vol. 10, No. 1 (Jan., 1935). The discussions are about the pedigree, the etymology of the name Glastonbury, about a farmer named Glast, etc. Not about kingdoms, Somerset, etc. So what should the article be about, if it should exist at all? A very minor discussion of a pedigree I guess. Doug Weller (talk) 11:36, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

 * This is yet another example of a minority theory dressed up as fact. Interesting to note that only four links to "Glastening" exist on this wikipedia and they all quote EarlyBritishKingdoms (Ford) and HistoryFiles (see here; see also the comments above and discussion at Wikipedia talk:Wikiproject European History/Sub-Roman Britain Taskforce). You are right to question what this is and whether it should be here at all. This is the kind of article that causes certain sceptics to smirk as they say "according to wikipedia" - and if "Glastening" was representative, who could blame them?
