1250 in Ireland

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This list has only one entry and has had empty section tags for six years with no improvement. MorbidEntree - (Talk to me! (っ◕‿◕)っ♥) (please reply using &#x7B;&#x7B;ping&#x7D;&#x7D;) 07:20, 9 September 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete The single event already has its own article and the category is enough to locate it.  But I suspect some larger cleanup is needed than just deleting an article here or there. Zerotalk
 * Question. There are a few hundred other Year in Ireland articles and I don't think you can really consider any one independent of the whole series. Is taking individual years to AfD the proper venue for this discussion? Would it not be better to start a wider AfC on the fate of years-where-not-very-much happened in Ireland? (Genuine question; apologies if I'm unaware of a relevant previous consensus on year in... articles). Joe Roe (talk) 10:21, 9 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Merge -- This and 5 or six others for the decade into 1250s in Ireland. The 1257 article has some substantive content, which may need to be moved to something more specific.  As Zero said, a much wider ranging clean up is needed.  There will be dozens of similar stubs for Ireland and hundreds worldwide to which the same objection applies.

 * Keep - this is a stub, part of a series of articles covering "years in Ireland" from 1100 onward. The stubs are created to be expanded; part of a systematic build-up. If you delete or merge this then there are at least 400 more articles in the series which would merit a similar approach. Sarah777 (talk) 18:44, 9 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment I wouldn't support deleting this. However, given the number of redlinks in individual years in this series, and the length of time the improvement tags have languished on this article, it may be worth consolidating these early year articles into decades. The year articles could still redirect there. --John (talk) 22:19, 9 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep. Having redlinks is no disadvantage. Articles like this allow expansion. And there is no deadline. --John (talk) 22:34, 11 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep This current page is preferable to a 1250s page which, to me, would be messy with many sections and subsections. On a quick Google search, 1250 appears as a delimiting year for a number of book titles and historical websites (e.g. this). That is, the year is considered by some historians to mark the end of the initial Norman conquest period (from 1170) and the start of the Gaelic revival. The tagged subsections could be deleted, but keep the page. I'm sure Irish history specialists could add to this page. Declangi (talk) 03:49, 12 September 2016 (UTC)


 * Keep: part of a series - so not every one will be highly populated but can be added to instead of deleting and making the series discontinuous. ww2censor (talk) 22:54, 12 September 2016 (UTC)
