- ... that Mac Creiche, an early Irish saint, may have originally been a pagan hero?
Created by Aymatth2 (talk). Self nominated at 14:36, 12 March 2014 (UTC).
It is new enough, long enough, well cited, including the hook fact, doesn't seem to plagiarise, and is generally good and interesting. However, there is a problem with alternating between treating the subject as a historical figure and a mythological figure, and the effect is particularly jarring in the lead, which states in part "[He] was an early Irish saint, the subject of various legends. He was a hermit, slew monsters and persuaded kings to submit to him through miracles." I think this one is good to go if the nominator just tweaked the lead a bit to make clear that according to legend, he slew monsters... etc. hamiltonstone (talk) 11:37, 17 March 2014 (UTC)
- Agreed. I did not want every sentence to start with "it is said that" or "according to the legend", but went too far the other way. I have tweaked the lead and other places to make it clear where a legend is being cited, apart from the section on "Legends" which continues to use a factual tone: "The monster, as high as a tall tree, had awoken..." etc. I think the section titles here make it clear that this is myth rather than reality.
