Fails WP:GNG. She seems to have led some Irish against some English sometime in the 15th century. All cited to a single sentence in a single book. All attempts to find more details/sources were fruitless. Scolaire (talk) 17:39, 24 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment likewise I can’t find any reliable sources, except that a google search brings up this jstor article. I can’t read Irish but it may contain something useful. Mccapra (talk) 18:49, 24 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

That's a false positive, I'm afraid. The article title translates as "The home country of O'Donovan Rossa" (and not "Wake up the dainty rosa", as Google Translate would have you believe), i.e. Rosscarbery, County Cork; Máire Ní Ciaragain was supposedly from County Fermanagh. "Máire" was the name of O'Donovan Rossa's sister. There is no occurrence of "Ní Ciaragain", "Mary", "Kerrigan" or "15th century". In other words, Google threw up a random article with the word "Máire" in it. I'm removing that ref from the article. The other ref that was added to the article is to a book published by Llewellyn Worldwide, a "New Age" publisher, and even it only has a one-line (or half-line) entry: "(Irish) A warrior queen." Not exactly significant coverage in reliable sources. --Scolaire (talk) 23:32, 24 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Ok thanks for checking that. I could see it was about O’Donovan Rossa but couldn’t get any further than that. Mccapra (talk) 03:29, 25 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete since subject fails WP:GNG. Wikipedia is not a wholly inclusive list of historical information, even though we must reserve doubt as to the historical accuracy of the contexted text, which is, however, an issue for a totally different field. -The Gnome (talk) 11:37, 31 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
