Talk:Ireland (name)

DAB
This article probably should be a DAB page. Rather than redirecting to the "names of the Irish state" article.

However, the title to me suggests that it's scope should include names (as in "person names") as well as object/entity titles.

Compare to Darby (name) and Kerry (name) and innumerable others.

In that way, it should include DAB links to "people named Ireland", like: Stephen Ireland, John de Courcy Ireland, etc.

I note however that these people are already listed on the Ireland (disambiguation) page.

Perhaps they should be merged here, and the list simply linked from the "main" DAB page? Guliolopez (talk) 15:24, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

Speedy delete
Although I edited the article, it was to correct a nonsensical redirect to just one meaning. I support the speedy delete - I should have thought of that first. --Red King (talk) 15:28, 14 August 2008 (UTC).
 * Subsequently I discovered that this article only exists because of a controversial move of another article to it. When an Admin UNDID that move, this page was left as a redirect to that article back in its orginal place.  It is an artefact of the move process and really should not exist. --Red King (talk) 23:23, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

Solution
There is no point in this page exisiting as a disambig page when it only has (most of) the same content as Ireland (disambiguation). As this is a trivial fork of that article, I've made this article redirect to that. Doing so meets the concern expressed by Guliolopez. --Red King (talk) 23:23, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
