In fact an article without content, as the main part is lifted from Early Irish literature without acknowledgement and the only source is not about Gaelic literature The Banner talk 09:26, 3 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• I had disambiguated it based on Slavic literature, which is also a disambiguation. I would still lean towards disambiguation over deletion because "Gaelic" can either mean Scottish Gaelic or an archaic term for the Irish/Manx languages. Zerach (talk) 00:31, 4 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep – either as a WP:DAB or as a WP:SIA (which is what the article in its current form effectively is). 'Gaelic literature' is a likely search term, and it needs to point somewhere. It would be misleading to redirect it to only one of the three languages. Gaelic is ambiguous, and is a DAB page.

IMO the article would be most useful in the form of an SIA, which could (1) give an overview of the histories of all three branches, and (2) include links to related topics which would be out of place on a DAB page. Narky Blert (talk) 08:25, 4 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep per Narky Blert as the concept of WP:SIA, (which is new to me), seems a good and helpful one for such topics. Andrew D. (talk) 11:45, 4 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
