Largely unverifiable. We seem to have one source[1] which mentions him in one sentence as the son of a "king" (one of the many, many kings at that time). No reliable sources that he had any descendants, never mind the ones mentioned. If kept, it should be moved to a much better title than this hybrid thing, but I believe it should either be deleted or at best redirected to e.g. List of kings of Síol Anmchadha (strange, how among all the Madudhan/Madadhan there, there suddenly is this one Mac Uallachain who seems to be unmentioned in more recent books).

Redirect to List of kings of Síol Anmchadha. As noted by the nom, the content is largely unverifiable and there is little/no indication that the subject had much if any notability (independent of the role/title held). Which seems to be "King of Síol Anmchadha". As an AtD, just redirect to the article on that title/role. Guliolopez (talk) 20:27, 21 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Procedural Objection I am far from sure whether Síol Anmchadha was an important enough polity for each king to require an article. My impression is that there were dozens of petty kings in Ireland at this period and one list for each is probably enough, as we probably have little more than genealogical information on any of them. However, if the article on one of them is to be removed, we ought probably to remove them all, by redirecting to the list, not merely one of them.

Redirect fails GNG, to List of kings of Síol Anmchadha per above. // Timothy :: talk 10:32, 25 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to List of kings of Síol Anmchadha as an ATD. Redirecting there is certainly a better solution than deleting. CycloneYoris ^talk! 23:32, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect Insufficient sources to establish that WP:NBIO is met. Happy to reconsider if other papyrus scrolls are found :) MrsSnoozyTurtle 09:16, 28 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
