Ireland (Home Nation)

Renominating. Article remains an almost verbatim duplicate (and therefore a totally redundant fork to ) the existing "Ireland 1801–1922" article. Further, the term "the Home Nation of Ireland" significantly fails WP:COMMONNAME - Having absolutely no common usage beyond this article. Guliolopez (talk) 18:44, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Are you saying there never was a Home Nation of the UK called Ireland? MickMacNee (talk) 19:07, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment Absolutely not. What I'm saying is that there is already an article which covers the period when Ireland was a home nation of the UK. And it's at "Ireland 1801–1922". The article Ireland (Home Nation) should therefore be deleted as a content fork (or merged and redirected if there is anything worth merging back). My comment on the OR/naming issue is that the article makes use of the term "the Home Nation of Ireland" as if it has some kind of precedent or common use history. Which it doesn't really. (Take for example the assertion that the St. Patrick's Saltire is the "flag of the Home Nation of Ireland", as if "the Home Nation of Ireland" was somehow the commonname for the constituent country for the period. When - really - it was just "Ireland"). Anyway, perhaps I confused the nom by making reference to naming issues - the simple fact is that Ireland 1801–1922 already deals with the concept fully, and this article is a pointless "copy and paste" job.

 * Redirect This article is an almost identical copy of the Ireland 1801-1922 article. The term "Ireland (Home Nation)" seems unique to Wikipedia. doktorb wordsdeeds 20:06, 15 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete: redundant, per nom. Having survived AfD, there was an opportunity to expand it if there was anything new or useful to say.  That has not happened.  Scolaire (talk) 20:50, 15 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete per Guliolopez. AlexTiefling (talk) 21:30, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete and redirect per redundant to existing article. ChildofMidnight (talk) 07:25, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete agree with Guliolopez, completely redundant. --HighKing (talk) 14:13, 19 November 2008 (UTC)
