Dear eminent wikipedian Lord Cornwallis. You are the creator of the article and the only person who has added citations (a single one) before I came along. That single citation reads "<ref>Casway, Jerrold. Owen Roe O'Neill and the Struggle for Catholic Ireland, pg. 60. University of Pennsylvania Press, 1984.</ref>" and fixes the citation style to the category "inline citations using ref tags" (WP:FOOTCITE) and perhaps more precisely to the variant "not using templates". You are therefore the owner of the citation style. I would like to change the citation style to use short citations (WP:SFN) where "short" descriptions in the text using ({{Sfn}}) are combined with source descriptions using citation templates (e.g. {{Cite book}}) in a list of sources like in the recent FA Frederick the Great. I have in fact added such a citation, which demonstrates what I want to do. You can easily revert it. As prescribed in WP:CITEVAR, I formally ask your permission.
@User:Lord Cornwallis (creator), @User:Mabuska (subject matter expert). As the article stands now, notability is not demonstrated. Turlough, father of the famous Sir Felim, was no peer, did not sit in parliament, has no monograph written on him, he did not even own the land around Kinard, which beloinged to his father. It is possible that the intended biographical subject was not Felim;'s father, but Turlough, 4th son of Shane O'Neill. As a fourth son he had no claim to his grandfather Conn O'Neill, 1st Earl of Tyrone's earldom. What do you think?

@User:Johannes Schade Thanks for the notification and the compliment :-) The article had the wrong name for a start so I moved it. Turlough as grandson of Hugh O'Neill was a member of the clan derbfine [those eligible for the kingship]. It consisted of three generations from one who had been chief, with the sons of a chiefs daughters having as much a claim as the eldest son of a chief. Hugh O'Neill had been chief of Tyrone, thus Turlough McHenry was an eligible successor in Gaelic law if he could muster enough support. In English law he was quite far down the line of succession for the earldom. Mabuska(talk)20:22, 14 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
