Merge with Séamus Ó Néill. It's a short, poignant verse in Irish (Gaelic) by an underrecognised Irish poet. You can see it (including a translation) at [1]. Counter systemic bias against the Irish :-) Dlyons493 Talk 07:51, 28 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Merge as above. This link from the James Hardiman library shows an extensive list of his work. - Mgm|^(talk) 08:14, 28 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Please note the correct spelling of Séamus Ó Néill. It does not have an apostrophe after the O like the entry originally said. - Mgm|^(talk) 08:19, 28 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: If someone writes an article on the poet before the AfD is over, I have no objection to a merge. -- Kjkolb 08:29, 28 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Give me a few minutes and I'll see if I can drop in a stub. - Mgm|^(talk) 08:33, 28 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
There's not a lot of info out there. All I could find was birth and death dates and a few lists of his work (I don't even know if they're poems, novels or translations). I'll try searching some more, but I have in the meantime tried to contact User:Ludraman Irish expert extraordinaire for help. I'm not sure when and if he'll respond, he's been away since August 1. - Mgm|^(talk) 08:46, 28 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Addition: If we don't have an article in time to merge this to, I change my vote to keep until it can be merged. - Mgm|^(talk) 11:16, 28 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: that's okay with me, as long as someone really intends to work on it. :-) -- Kjkolb 22:13, 28 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Our library has a few books by him, including Colm Cille : drama i gceithre radharcanna (Columcill, a drama in four acts) under his English name of Seamus O'Neill. I'll see if I can add anything on him to the article - will take a few days though. Dlyons493 Talk 12:05, 28 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: why don't we close this as a keep and it can be redirected to the poet's article when it is created. -- Kjkolb 07:47, 29 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I've created the article Séamus Ó Néill and merged the poem into it (I think it's so short that quoting it in full is fair use). Will need to dig out the dictionary to check accuracy of translation but it's broadly correct. Thanks for the support on this. Dlyons493 Talk 13:21, 29 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
