[edit] Clan Bryce

Clan Bryce (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Original Research, Un-sourced and Un-verifiable. There is no Clan Bryce. Bryce isn't listed with a large list of clans and names applying for recognition as Scottish Clans: Official Scottish Clans and Families. A Scottish Clan Bryce, or a Clan Bryce Association or Society doesn't come up at all on Google either. Celtus 07:50, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete per nom. Keb25 08:44, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep but rename Sept Bryce and tag for fact and ask for a rewrite. There is no Clan Bryce, but there is a Sept (social) Bryce, as acknowledged by the official clan website, although it doesn't appear in the list of associated names in electric Scotland, other sites, [1], [2] and [3] included corroborate this.

Comment Been bold and followed my own suggestions but I've just noticed, that if you really want to delete this article, it may be easier to do so for copyvio than for OR compare the article with the house of names page.KTo288 12:51, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete in any case because septs --which can be very small groups -- are (unlike clans) not necessarily or even usually notable . DGG (talk) 05:49, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
    • comment I agree, septs on their own aren't notable, they are just a name among a list of other names. If there is a history to the sept under the main clan, or a history of the surname then it could be notable. But as it is this article doesn't cut it, in my opinion.--Celtus 08:38, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge and Redirect to Clan Macfarlane would be appropriate. --Sc straker 15:31, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
    • Comment I would oppose any attempt at a redirect and merge to Clan MacFarlane, better to delete the article. Bryce is but one of almost 60 families in Clan MacFarlane, to merge would give undue weight and prominence to this one sept. If this article is non notable in its own right (as those who seem better informed of this topic than I suggest) better to add one or two lines to the Bryce disambiguation page and add the one link that seems to be the source of most of the information in this article.
