Eire (Republic Of Ireland) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Despite its title, this is a list of rugby slang terms. I think that Wikipedia is not a dictionary is the appropriate policy, creator removed prod with the comment, "I do not belive this page to be a dictionary. It is more about the origin of certain coloquial terms that are not in the OED. In reply to the title has no relevence please look at the subtitles preceeding - crowd linguistics - rugby!"

The title is infact a sub title to crowd linguistics and rugby! You do not seem to acknowledge this fact and please may you write why you think this page is unsatissfactory rather than quote from wikipedias rules as i will find it much more useful! Headsworth 20:05, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
Deciding whether or not this article meets Wikipedia policy is how we will decide whether it is deleted or not. The title isn't a subtitle; it's the only title that the article has. -FisherQueen (Talk) 20:20, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete absolutely ridiculous piece of nonsense OR created in the spirit (if not the letter) of vandalism, as it's a patent attempt to hijack the (obviously) legitimate entries for Eire and Republic of Ireland. I'd suggest salting to stop it happening againstill Delete as OR and not of enough significance, but withdrawing comments about "hijacking" as this appears to have been a genuine mistake — iridescenti (talk to me!) 20:33, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, even if we needed a list of rugby slang terms in a specific city that was not part of an article for a specific rugby team, we would not name it after the country. NN dicdefs, add to a rugby team article if they are significant. --Dhartung | Talk 20:53, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete non notable dictionary definitions under false article title, probably original research. Davewild 21:16, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

I was not under the impression that it would come under Eire alone as if you look in the list it is under Crowd Linguistics under Rugby! Eire was created as i wanted others to add thier own research and "experiences" from the other great rugby nations as there are so few! This is clear in my opinion and if it is not i appologies! This is not a finished piece people need to add to it and build on it "Rome Was Not Built In A Day". As for vandalism i consider that a ridiculous comment to make what i was trying to do was valid and is valid. thanks i hope you will reconsider as there is nothing like this on wikipedia and there is no reason why it should'nt be! Headsworth 21:28, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

    • Headsworth, I see that you created this from the redlink at Wikipedia:Requested articles/sports#Crowd Linguistics. It wasn't your fault that it was misnamed, it was the fault of the person who made that request. Nevertheless, while we appreciate your efforts to fulfill that request, editors here are arguing that the topic is not needed. In many cases it is permissible to create a stub article for a notable topic that may grow in time, but in this case we probably don't need a local slang directory pertaining to a specific sport. --Dhartung | Talk 03:57, 26 April 2007 (UTC)


  • Do Not Delete

This article, is in my opinion valid. I argue that this is more of a debate about sticking to the rule book and being petty, rather than anything else. Please bear in mind the famous saying "Rules are for the obedience of idiots and the guidance of wise men" whilst following this.

May I ask, who are we to question the backgrounds and moral integrity of others, what sort of world do we live in, if people are so petty and have so much free time on their hands, that they have to come on the internet and metaphorically cry about a "rule book"?! This is a website for Christ's sake, don't turn it into a dictatorship!

This is nothing but a petty argument, fuelled by the lost souls that still live with their mothers at the age of 45 and have nothing beter to do than argue on the internet. I say, let us be free and express our wills and that the objectees maybe go out and get some friends. I see nothing wrong with this article and those that do, well, I think it's clear that we all feel sorry for them.

I ask that we do not become idiots, but that we show our acceptance and that we infact that we imbrace this perception of the word "yarn".FredMcD 22:00, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Speedy redirect to Republic of Ireland. Assuming good faith, the author appears to have made an effort to create a page they thought would appear under Crowd Linguistics under Rugby. The text serves no useful purpose and the page title should clearly point to nation's page. bikeable (talk) 22:41, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Speedy Redirect per the above. Not only is this article unverifiable neologism, it's also badly mis-named. The comments about my mother are also not productive. --Haemo 22:51, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Redirect to Ireland should do it 0v3r533r 23:22, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

  • Redirect and what the feng shui is Fred McD talking about? JuJube 10:00, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Do Not Delete This article is i agree in the wrong section however it should be renamed into a seperate area.

Yarn is a word used by many as the 1000 members of yarn appriciation society show on facebook.It needs to be redirected not deleted, it is not vandalism it is mearly been missdirected Humeoid 10:04, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

NEW EDITS HAVE BEEN MADE TO THE PAGEHeadsworth 14:24, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Also once Crowd Linguistics is accpeted as a sub for rugby what effect will that have? Headsworth 14:24, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete as failing WP:A and WP:N, or at least RENAME since the present name is extremely misleading and annoying. Edison 17:47, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

How does one change the title? Headsworth 18:10, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

You should wait until the deletion discussion closes; right now, the consensus seems to be leaning toward not renaming the article but deleting it. If the article is kept, we can rename it then.-FisherQueen (Talk) 18:13, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Do Not Delete this should not be deleted but renamed as it is a perfectly legitimate use of the phrase.Geofflebon 19:40, 26 April 2007 (UTC)



  • Do Not Delete this is a valid use of the word and although certain members here do not agree i see it as necessary that a place like wikipedia, which is an encylopedia, a place for a vast amount of infomation. Harbours such cutting edge and important items.

Although i myself have only recently been introduced to yarn through a trip to see liecestor play in dublin. I feel it is an important that this content remains upon wikipedia.

I WOULD LIKE TO STATE I HAVE NOT ASKED PEOPLE TO ADD TO THIS PAGE I HAVE ONLY JUST BECOME AWARE OF THE FACEBOOK GROUP!Headsworth 20:30, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

  • Speedy redirect to Éire. That is the only thing that can be done with that title. If Headsworth wishes to create a new article called Rugby crwod linguistics, the history is still there . -- RHaworth 08:34, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
