Mona Island of the Druids

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

It deals with material best placed in Anglesey (and in fact already there, much more accurate and better expressed), with material on real Druids (mostly derived from Caesar's account of the Gaulish priesthood and of very dubious relevance to the British Isles let alone Anglesey) best placed in Druids, and, mostly, with Neo-Druidism fantasy (irrelevant to Anglesey and with minimal relevance to real life) referenced to a self-published page. It seems absolutely valueless to an encyclopedia and the subject does not offer scope for improvement to a worthwhile article. Richard Keatinge (talk) 17:31, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete: There do not seem to be any references to the central topic of the COATRACK article: that Mona/Anglesey was an especially important island for the druids. הסרפד  (call me “Hasirpad”) (formerly R——bo) 01:35, 6 January 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete -- The basis for this page is that the Roman governor of Britiannia was dealing with the Druids in Anglesey at the time of Boudicca's rebellion, but there is very litle fact to make an article from. Rivet & Smith, Placenames of Roman Britain (1981 edn), pp. 417-8 gives a derivation for the name as related to "mountain".  It has nothing to do with the Latin "moneo" - learn.  At best this is WP:ESSAY, but some of it seems to be WP:OR.  Peterkingiron (talk) 17:13, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
