[edit] Douglas (mythology)

Article has been tagged {{notverified}} since October 2005. A comment added to the article (rather than talk) states that the subject is not included in the Oxford Dict. of Celtic Mythology. The results in Google books are unpromising [1] [2]. As noted at the article talk, the name itself is improbable (Dubglas or Dubhglas are possible). The web results are plentiful enough, but there is no reliable source for the information here, or in the related articles. Scáthach already contains the smergable material from this article and the related nominations. Fails to cite any sources, let alone reliable ones, and so fails to meet the requirement for verifiability. As it hasn't been fixed in almost a year, I see no reason to believe that it ever will be. Accordingly, I suggest that a delete is in order. Angus McLellan (Talk) 22:20, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

I would also like to nominate the following articles with the same rationale :-

  • Lasair
  • Inghean Bhuidhe
  • Latiaran

  • Delete all. Mythology is important, but if it's not documented elsewhere with verifyable refs, it doesn't belong here. Akradecki 22:30, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete all - WP:V. Thanks/wangi 22:38, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete all, but without prejudice No sources given means that these fail WP:V, but if deleted, I suggest the closing admin to add a note to that effect in the deletion logs, so if referenced articles about these topics do get created, they don't get accidently G4'd.

  • Delete all. Although Inghean Bhuidhe, for instance, looks like it's probably genuine, no sources have been provided despite a long-standing request. So, unless verification is given, wiki can't take the chance of misinforming people or even propping up a hoax. Calgacus (ΚΑΛΓΑΚΟΣ) 23:01, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak keep These appear to be local folklore around Ballyvourney in the Diocese of Kerry - see [3] and [4]. A Bibliography of French books is on fr.wiki at [5] Dlyons493 Talk 02:34, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete is OK by me. The closest reference to any of the "saints" I could find was St. Lasar, a nun at Clonard, 6th cent., March 29, on the calendar of my own church (Celtic Catholic Church) And that just ain't close enough. --Sean Lotz 01:10, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete & move information to an article which is larger, and more encompassing. Image:Icons-flag-gb-sct.png Canæn Image:Icons-flag-gb-sct.png 23:07, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
