The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was delete. The argument for deletion is that the content is unverifiable, and the only other opinion, although advocating for a merger, admits as much. Because unverifiable content must not be retained (WP:V), a merger is ruled out by policy, and a redirect makes little sense because the subject is not mentioned in Ó Fathaigh.

Unverifiable. There are some references to people nicknamed "Tadhg an tSleibhe", though it is not clear what they have to do with the subject of this article. There doesn't seem to be any source for a "Tadhg an tSleibhe Ó Fathaigh". Sources used in the article, e.g. the first one, have at first glance some connection to the general topic, but when looking more closely don't seem to mention our Tadhg at all. Suorce 2 has some Tadhgs, but not this one it seems. Source 3 is an unpublished manuscript, seemingly from the 20th century, and is not a reliable source. Source 4 doesn't concern itself with a Tadhg. The same goes for Source 5. The book "The Surnames of Ireland" doesn't mention any Tadhg[1]. And I haven't been able to find any sources (apart from Wikipedia mirrors and rip-offs) which mention "Tadhg an tSleibhe Ó Fathaigh". At best a non notable figure, or an article that belongs at a completely different title if this is about some notable person who is known by another name. But looking for other combinations doesn't yield anything either, e.g. this. Fram (talk) 13:49, 8 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Well the dates in the article do not match up with Michael O'Cleary who has a DNB entry and was originally named Tadhg. The unpublished manuscript is Pádraig Ó Fathaigh's 1968 autobiography, and in fact it was published, by Cork University Press in 2000, edited by Timothy G. McMahon, ISBN 9781859181454.

• Merge/redirect - The vast majority of the content (and effectively ALL the sources) deal with the Ó Fathaigh family generally. And not the apparently titular subject specifically. (The castle which predated the subject, the battle that predated subject by ~300 years, etc). There is otherwise insufficient reliable sources to support the text about the subject. Not to mind establishing the subject's notability independent of the Fahy family as a whole. I don't see how the available refs can support a standalone article. The content should be merged. Likely to the Ó Fathaigh. If the title is retained, it should be redirected to the same article. Guliolopez (talk) 14:23, 19 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
