Builg

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Unreferenced stub, allegedly about a pre-Celtic Irish people who lived in County Cork, at least according to the theories of T. F. O'Rahilly, who sounds like his alone on the matter. I don't have any printed on that period, but a google search seems to mostly throw up typos of the word "build", and while I'm sure that they must have been lovely people if they came from Cork, it seems that the only evidence for their existence is an outdated theory of a lone historian. I'm not sure whether to recommend deletion, or merger/redirect to T. F. O'Rahilly. BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 13:34, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

 * weak delete. I searched news and an academic website and the word did not come up.  If secondary sources could be added then it would be an interesting article.  Renee (talk) 13:47, 7 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Redirect to Fir Bolg. I've had a skim through O'Rahilly and he regards the Builg and Fir Bolg as identical (Builg seems to be a nominative plural reconstructed from the genitive plural Bolg), and the Fir Bolg certainly had a literary and possibly a historical existence. --Nicknack009 (talk) 18:45, 7 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Redirect to Fir Bolg. I find the same - Builg and Fir Bolg are treated as the same; A New History of Ireland (Moody, Martin, etc,) says Fir Bolg got their name from their bags, which they made boats out of (builg). --Rbreen (talk) 20:22, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I think that per Nicknack009 and Rbreen, a redirect to Fir Bolg sounds like the best solution. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 17:27, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
