Claiomh Solais

Fancruft? I don't now, but it's not encyclopeadic, in anyway. Delete now Differentgravy 17:58, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

Claiomh Solais is a sword from Celtic mythology. ? 17:53, 3 September 2005 (UTC)

• This nom was never added to a main VfD page. Fixing now. No vote. JYolkowski // talk 22:48, 3 September 2005 (UTC)

• Weak Keep Quite well-known in Ireland e.g. there used to be a journal of that name. But could be merged to Celtic Mythology or some such. Dlyons493 23:44, 3 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete if it doesn't get expanded to at least a complete sentence telling us the significance of the Claíomh Solais before this AFD is over. If someone can write one or two sentences about it, then merge with Irish mythology. If someone can write one or two paragraphs about it, then keep. --Angr/_{tɔk tə mi} 06:04, 4 September 2005 (UTC)
• Comment I've added a little more information and will see what relevant printed material I can find Dlyons493 13:26, 11 September 2005 (UTC)

Needs more discussion. Relisting on Sep 12. --Tony Sidaway^Talk 12:33, 12 September 2005 (UTC)

• Keep Dlyons493's rewrite. Notable in Irish mythology.Capitalistroadster 23:27, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Mythologycruft. Redirect and mention in Irish mythology only if notable by real world standards, not just Wikipedia standards. E.i. indispensible to the understanding of the core aspects of Irish mythology. / Peter ^Isotalo 15:49, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
• Comment Whatever is done with this should be done for consistency to the linked articles I've now created Spear of Lugh, The Dagda’s Cauldron, Stone of Fal e.g. a merge to Tuatha De Danaan or Irish mythology wouldn't be unreasonable. Note also that Claiomh Solais is now effectively a disambig page with Pearse and a contemporary Irish writer involved - I don't want to do that until we see what the voting outcome is. Also I feel Wikipedia standards are what should be applied since we're on Wikipedia - I wouldn't have bothered creating this article myself, but I've invested some time in cleaning it, so my original Weak Keep is now somewhat stronger.

• Note: I've moved out the unrelated info to a disamb page now. - Mgm|^(talk) 09:14, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
• Weak keep, although I am not an authority on Irish mythology. This seems to be worth hanging onto, and if not exactly a major part of their myth at least seems to be a note-worthy part. Although I am willing to accept correction from greater authorities than I. Lord Bob 00:41, September 13, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Noteworthy mythological artifact, important mythological system. Crypticfirefly 05:15, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep the rewrite. - Mgm|^(talk) 09:00, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep - I've encountered the motive a couple of times in legends - and add information on Gorias and the four other legendary cities. Karol 21:43, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, but older spelling "Claidheamh Soluis" would be preferable (also the name of a significant Irish nationalist magazine) --MacRusgail 16:46, 14 September 2005 (UTC)
