- Delete - totally pov, totally OR and totally WRONG! The name of the state now known as Ireland (and also as Republic of Ireland) was in 1937; Éire or Ireland. The 1937 constitution does not mention the word commonwealth, This commonwealth nonsense is total original research. Snappy (talk) 19:04, 27 July 2014 (UTC)
- Delete. Concur with Snappy's analysis. This article is pure rubbish. Finnegas (talk) 20:23, 27 July 2014 (UTC)
- Delete: per nom. The most common mention appears to be based only on Fynes Moryson's writing on the topic without any other supporting RS. ww2censor (talk) 22:23, 27 July 2014 (UTC)
