Baethgalach Mac Aodhagáin

I cannot find substantial RS coverage (or non-RS coverage, for that matter) of this person under Gnews, Gbooks, and Gscholar. Epeefleche (talk) 06:42, 13 January 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep or merge to Mac Aodhagáin. The usual spelling of his name in ancient sources is Baethgalach Mac Aedacan.  He was apparently a hereditary brehon in Lower Connacht; calling him a 'professor of law' seems anachronistic.  The source given is to a collection of primary texts hosted by the University of Cork. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 15:55, 13 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Hi Smerdis. Tx for the explanation.  I'm not clear what of the existing content is merger-worthy; it is all unreferenced, though it does have as you point out an EL to the primary source, but it is not clear (to me at least) what of the text that EL supports.  (Maybe it is to you?).--Epeefleche (talk) 16:56, 13 January 2012 (UTC)
 * You're right; the reference doesn't really tell you much. A lot of the material on that website seems to be chronicles and genealogies.  (I really wish I knew more Middle Irish.  Material on modern Irish is plentiful, and Old Irish is available, but what I really want is the language of the classical poets.)  For the interim, I'd say that maybe the best thing to do is to redirect this to Mac Aodhagáin. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 20:52, 13 January 2012 (UTC)
 * That seems like a reasonable result.--Epeefleche (talk) 21:31, 13 January 2012 (UTC)
