Legend

I think most RS use this word. Doug Weller talk 14:27, 22 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I was thinking about this after my edit. As I said, I don't object to using the word legend - just not anything that suggests the place actually existed. Welsh sources used the term "chwedl" which I think of as a fable, but can also be translated as legend. English sources often refer to "myths and legends". On the subtleties here, I have come round to the view that in English, legend is better - but I still don't think the page should say "was a land" because it wasn't.

Ynys Teithi Hen

Ynys Teithi Hen redirects here even though its an entirely different lost welsh kingdom/land that sank into the sea, it deserves its own page separately. AvailableViking (talk) 03:37, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I had not realised it redirected here, and as it does, there should at least be a section about what we have on it, and the rejection of its identity with Cantre'r Gwaelod; but I doubt there is enough information on it for a page in its own right - the same as there is insufficient for a page on Teithi Hen. An alternate solution would be to include it in Welsh Triads and change the redirect. In the first instance I'll try a bold edit on this page so it is at least discussed somewhere.
