Battle of Duncairn

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Article tagged as hoax over a week ago; I requested help from WP:IRELAND but no action has been taken to refute the claim that this is a hoax, so I'm opening this discussion. I am neutral. &mdash; KuyaBriBri Talk 19:22, 24 September 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete. No reliable sources to suggest that this incident ever happened. Jimmy Pitt   talk  20:17, 24 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - Nothing to suggest this battle ever happened. Sources on article relate to 1916 Easter Rising, in all likelihood a hoax. Snappy (talk) 12:14, 25 September 2010 (UTC)

 * Comment -- I am suspicious of this article, becuase the battle does not appear in the list in the United Irishmen Rebellion article, and becasue it only cites Irish-lanaguage sources. I am not Irish, but do the titles of the two works cited mean "easter Rising"?  If the article cannot be provided with WP:RS directly related to the 1798 rebellion, it should be deleted.

 * Yes, Éirí Amach na Cásca means Easter Rising which was in 1916. Also the creator of the article, listed the battle as a defeat for the Irish forces, some anonymous edits later, it became a stunning Irish victory! Snappy (talk) 16:10, 26 September 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete - this is a fun item, and not found in ''Rebellion in Kildare 1790-1803" by Dr. Liam Chambers (1998).Red Hurley (talk) 06:45, 27 September 2010 (UTC)
