[edit] Chucky
I don't see the point of quibbling over the precise spellings such as "chucky air law", "chucky are la", etc; which is most accurate depends on both your Irish accent and your English accent; that's too many variables to control. WP:PRON says to avoid pronunciation spellings in any case. The transcription [ˈtʲʊki aːɾˠ ˈɫ̪aː] is in accordance with the Irish phonology article. If you want to add separate transcriptions for Ulster Irish, Munster Irish, and Connacht Irish, go ahead. However, adding English-spelling approximations, as a guide for Wikipedia users who don't understand IPA, is a lot trickier. "Chucky air law" is pretty accurate when said a Belfast-English accent, but unhelpful if not misleading for someone who doesn't know what a Belfast accent sounds like. The best reason to add pronunciation spellings is if they are widespread enough in their own right to be of encyclopedic interest. "Chucky" on its own is so, and I have added a reference for this. A side-effect is that it helps approximate the most impenetrable (for English speakers) part of the phrase. I suggest there is no benefit in debating over approximations of "ár lá", none of which is canonical: none gets more than a dozen google hits. jnestorius(talk) 15:12, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Proposed deletion
This article about a catchphrase. The phrase itself has not been written about in any detail by reliable sources, therefore the topic is non-notable. Scolaire (talk) 09:01, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
- I agree, see this discussion for rational. --Domer48 (talk) 09:22, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
