This article is very brief, and any pertinent material here can go into the Saint Patrick article. I initially proposed a merge, but User:Artw followed me from a disagreement we were having at the Roy Moore article over to the Saint Patrick article (which he’s never visited before AFAIK) where he said at the talk page that he wants AfD instead of merge. So here we are. Deletion would be fine as long as I can put some of the material into Saint Patrick. Anythingyouwant (talk) 18:15, 12 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

comment thats a very weird and accusatory way of putting things. You probably want to be more WP:CIVIL here and elsewhere. Artw (talk) 18:18, 12 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- To me, hounding seems uncivil. Do you support the deletion that you requested? Anythingyouwant (talk) 18:22, 12 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  - I'm going to consider this WP:POINTy AfD strike two, a third strike and I will be taking you to ANI. Artw (talk) 18:29, 12 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    - The article should be merged or deleted. Either way is fine with me. Anythingyouwant (talk) 18:48, 12 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Merge. It is unclear if this battle occured or if it is a folk legend from the annals. Death date of Parrick is also not as definitive as laid out in the battle article. No need for standalone replica/summary of the annals.Icewhiz (talk) 19:35, 12 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Merge possibly speedy. This should not be at AfD, given the evidence of the content dispute splattered all over the place above. Anythingyouwant wants this article either merged or deleted, which are two very different results. This is an encyclopedic topic, clearly, and there is no actual rationale for deletion in the nomination. A Train^talk 19:39, 12 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Merge speedily merge too Saint Patrick, this could have been dealt with in a simple move discussion. Dysklyver 11:57, 13 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy merge -- My guess is that we know nothing of this, but what is in the account quoted. There may possibly be some scholarly commentary on this, though I doubt it would add much. Since the very concept of AD was devised by Bede long after the events in question, the date must also be something added later. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:13, 13 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Merge speedily merge too Saint Patrick, this could have been dealt with in a simple move discussion, but I can see the nominator's point in coming here in the face of opposition.--Georgia Army Vet Contribs Talk 19:40, 15 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
