Mathghamhan

Wikipedia is not a genealogy project. --W(t) 03:56, 2005 May 23 (UTC)

• Comment, the article appears to be about Mathghamhan the person, from whom names have been derived--nixie 04:04, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Doesn't seem notable, whether accurate or not.--Absurdist 04:06, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
• Weak Keep. Might be a borderline case here for a minor figure in Irish history. A google search for Mathghamhain seems to yield better results. Leithp 07:44, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Notable figure, and grandson of probably the most important leader in mediaeval Irish history. Grutness...wha? 08:55, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
• keep, wikipedia is not a genealogy project applies to random people, not royal families. Kappa 17:57, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
• keep, because articles on Irish people prior to the 18th century are not comprehensive, and only a very few seem to have any knowledge of the people. In other words, the more the merrier, and it can be expanded in time. Fergananim 19:05, 23 May 2005.
• Keep. Exactly the sort of thing Wikipedia is good at -- obscure bits of information that would be hard to look up somewhere else. Frjwoolley 20:32, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Member of Irish nobility. Capitalistroadster 05:00, 24 May 2005 (UTC)
