I'm 100% convinced these articles are hoaxes. I came across the top article yesterday whilst RC patrolling after an IP blanked it. I immediately saw it needed work and proceeded to remove POV, format it correctly, correct red links, stub, categorize and general fix ups. Ten minutes later when done it occured to me that there were no sources, or external links at all so I started searching, and searching, and searching. In short here's what I found (or didnt)

1. A google search for "Sean Ó Ceasaigh" produces zero results
2. As does "Sean O Ceasaigh", or even just (no quotes) Sean Ceasaigh. Even Ceasaigh produces less than ten!
3. Through the Gap of Dunloe is an irish expression it seems for travelling through a certain provence, however a search for the, ahem; "song [and album of the same name] made famous by Irish musician Sean Ó Ceasaigh" produces less than ten results - none of them an actual album or song (I searched both)
4. Zero relevant results when searching for "Kányé Of The West" - the Irish musician, and a search for his hit song ""Bean as Dearg" produces one result, Wikipedia.
5. Oh, a search for Sean's and Kayne's joint hit song "Ba Mhaith Liom Bris Amach" produces one result, Wikipedia.
6. Finally, as one would expect, I could not find a single trace of their record label Celtic Legacy Records either.

• Delete them all, as hoaxes. Kanye of the West is probably not a plausible redirect to Kanye West. My guess is a spammer trying to increase pagerank to his record company. ColourBurst 23:06, 20 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Strong delete as hoaxes. The creator also went as far as to make up a fake source to divert suspicion. --Wafulz 23:23, 20 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
