Hiberno Irish

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This article seems to violate synthesis and fails reliable sources. The term 'Hibernian' refers to Irish. So the claim of Hiberno-Irish is like saying, "Irish, Irish." The sources being used don't actually refer to anything called "Hiberno-Irish" nor did a Google search render anything. SW3 5DL (talk) 17:14, 2 August 2014 (UTC)

The population exists, there is no disputing that, so rather than wanting to have the artice deleted on the grounds of the linguistical referents which are used to refer to this population and the dynamic of wether or not these referents are legitimate ways of refering to this ethnic group should you not be trying to be more constructive as to helping with layout errors that might exist--Twominds (talk) 17:29, 2 August 2014 (UTC)


 * Delete I was trying to help but all my edits were reverted by the "owner". This stub will never be able to become an article in these conditions. (Argument: Notability.) --Why should I have a User Name? (talk) 17:54, 2 August 2014 (UTC)

Sorry somebody is trying to delete the references, i didnt mean to revert your edits also--Twominds (talk) 17:58, 2 August 2014 (UTC)


 * Delete as WP:OR and WP:SYNTH. Consider salting. Product of an accused sockpuppet Fiddle   Faddle  18:44, 2 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Changed my mind. None of the references check out. Speedy Delete as a hoax. Because of the as yet unconfirmed editor history, salt.  Fiddle   Faddle  18:59, 2 August 2014 (UTC)


 * Comment. I have been evaluating the G3. I agree that none of the refs support anything in the article. I also think that the creator's other edits at wikipedia raise many red flags. Nonetheless, I am reluctant to delete per this criterion unless it is truly blatant. In poking around, I found this edit about "Hiberno-Irish" by an editor who has not edited since 2013, but at first glance whose edits don't appear to be disruptive. Now the addition is unsourced, but it's odd and it's still in the article now. At this point, I'm inclined to speedy the article based on vandalism rather than hoax, but I will let the AfD play out a bit more.--Bbb23 (talk) 19:37, 2 August 2014 (UTC)
 * I would recommend a speedy delete. As I said in my nom statement, it fails WP:RS. I recently saw this with another article that claimed to be about 'disco orchestration.' It was quite elaborate but yet not a single source supported it. I've several anthropological texts on Ireland and the UK and not one of the indices has this topic. This seems truly blatant to me.

 * Delete Complete OR, and even at that the original research was lazily done. Gael and Galicia (both in Spain and Ukraine) are both cognates of "Celt", just like Gaul and dozens of other ethno- and topo-nyms across Europe. All in all, an irrelevant, largely nonsensical, article. JesseRafe (talk) 20:12, 2 August 2014 (UTC)
