 * Comment This already has an entry at wiktionary (wikt:Irish twin), in case anybody was pondering whether to transwikify. TompaDompa (talk) 16:37, 16 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete This is a dictionary definition. I also think the article misplaces the etymology of the term, it is not 19th but 20th century in origin. Large families did not become a distinction between Catholics and mainline protestants until into the 20th century.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:54, 17 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:DICDEF. It's a derogatory term that hasn't been used commonly since 1972, and there's a dictionary definition already in the system. Bearian (talk) 17:23, 23 August 2021 (UTC)
