Speedy deletion of Thomas MacManus

A tag has been placed on Thomas MacManus requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Republic of Ireland

I saw you naming comment on the Republic of Ireland talk page. May I suggest that you don't even go there. This issues has been raised several time in the last few years but because there is also an article Ireland for the island of Ireland it is not possible to have two articles named the same. It is very clear in the naming paragraph that the constitutional name is Ireland. There has never been an consensus to change the name after many heated discussions. The most recent was earlier this year and you should absolutely read the last renaming discussion that went on for a month before you consider if it is worth pushing forward with a change proposal again now. Remember, besides there being thousands of articles where links would need to be fixed by someone, that if any change were made, it can only come with consensus. As a novice editor you may want to think long and hard about this because many experienced editors before you have already given their best on both sides of the topic. (I reply where the discussion starts, so I am watching you) Cheers ww2censor (talk) 14:48, 16 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
