[edit] Taine Ruaridh Mhor
Apparently an advert for someone's book. The spelling is wrong, the history is weird (seems to talk about medieval Scots going to NEW ZEALAND!), and it's most of the way to nonsense. MacRusgail 19:51, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. Even if it made sense, it wouldn't belong here. A book that is going to be published (and even the author or the article seems unsure about that) is NN. Devotchka 20:01, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. An unpublished book and a personal theory that hasn't been published in a peer-reviewed journal (contravening Wikipedia:No original research). -- Finlay McWalter | Talk 20:06, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
- Delete puff for NN unpublished (possibly unpublishable) book. - Just zis Guy, you know? 20:08, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. An utterly bizarre and unpublished book by an unknown author, looks NN to me. And the external link doesn't work. Leithp 23:13, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
- The correct link is [1] (what appears to be a self-publishing dealie), which appears to be a tamer version of [2] (the same site as the original link). Looking at other stuff on these websites ([3] [4]) and we see the author's agenda. It's not just a piece of fanciful pseudo history, but part of white-supremacist propaganda effort; some NZ nazi group spent some effort a few months ago trying to get their drivel into wikipedia, and turned nasty when they failed. I expect this is a piece of their material that slipped under our radar. -- Middenface 03:14, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
- Nice research. Curiouser, and curiouser! Shows that not just "Scottish Americans" have the monopoly on pseudo-Celtic bigotry! --MacRusgail 18:35, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
