Celtic dragon
There is no such thing. All the accurate content (which is not much) is already covered on Welsh dragon, Historia Britonum, and Welsh mythology. Googling on "celtic dragon" throws up many jewelry designs, much artwork, and a Celtic Dragon Tarot pack and nothing about Welsh dragons, Merlin, Dinas Emrys or remotely related topics, so I don't see any reason to redirect anywhere. Of the 14 edits to the page, 11 have already been deleted. Delete the rest. Telsa 12:59, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete per nomination. Alternately redirect to Welsh dragonY Ddraig Goch since there are some people (google results) that seem to use them interchangeable, correctly or not.  -Meegs 13:24, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Welsh dragon is actually itself a redirect, so instead Redirect to Y Ddraig Goch (also referenced within this stub, albeit with a typo). -Colin Kimbrell 22:03, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Y Ddraig Goch. --Alf melmac 12:47, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: there are one or two references to Celtic dragons involving "the original Gaelic", which suggest Wales (which doesn't speak Gaelic) does not have the monopoly on Celticism: example here -- this one is an academic publisher clearly referring to Scotland. This is why in my original nomination I argued against the redirect to a page about the Welsh one and why I'm still against a misleading redirect and in favour of just deleting it. --Telsa 16:06, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
 * It seems to be a common term, even if it's mostly used incorrectly, and would be a shame to delete and leave nothing there. If you understand what the topic well enough to write a 1 sentence stub, just one that says it a design related to, distinct from, but often confused for the Y Ddraig Goch, that would be spectacular.  Otherwise, I too prefer deletion to redirect.  ×Meegs 21:09, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
