Talk:Welsh Triads
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Proposed merger
The article Three Generous Men of Britain should be merged into the main Welsh Triads article. The individual triad is not notable enough to have its own article, and the only thing it really adds is that the Triads are briefly referred to in Susan Cooper's fiction, which could be included in a "trivia" or "popular culture" section here. Likewise, the reference to Rydderch in Lloyd Alexander's books could be included in his article. Any thoughts/objections? --Nicknack009 13:29, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
- Rhydderch article already has mention of and link to this page. Regarding the merge, well I'm not so sure. For me personally, the fact that it's been mentioned in at least two popular (also award-winning) fiction novels makes it sufficiently notable to stand alone. Also, while the article at present is short, it could be expanded with some history about why these three men were so named -- I haven't investigated but I'm sure the information is there. And there are plenty of other short or minor people/places/events that have their own articles. However, my feelings are not strong enough to formally object if you choose to merge it; but I would request please that this be left as a redirect, and that in the Triads article it have its own subsection, complete with the mention of its use in both books rather than having that info separated into a "trivia" section, so as to retain all the information as a unit. ++ Caveat: Yeah, I wrote this article so my comments are maybe not TOTALLY objective :) ++ --Bookgrrl 01:32, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

- I went ahead and changed the article to a redirect. There was little information on the triad itself, except mentioning it appeared in the Susan Cooper article. That was the only bit that could be potentially added here, but it be trivia, and I don't really think that would be useful.--Cúchullain t/c 23:51, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
