Talk:Brasil (mythical island)

message: I have removed this tag for two main reasons. Firstly, in the context of WikiProject Scottish Islands irrelevant trivia appears on a regular basis about real islands and is removed e.g. information about computer games that happen to bear the same name as the article's subject. Those which are germane i.e. the content of the reference bears a genuine relationship to the subject matter - they are a work of fiction set on the island for example - are generally kept. So far as I can see most (but not without further explanation all) of the examples in the 'In popular culture section' are about the idea of Hy-Brazil and potentially qualify as acceptable material on those grounds. 
Secondly, Hy-Brasil (probably) doesn't exist - any description of the islands alleged qualities is almost by definition a quasi-fictional reference. In other words, it is a mythical subject matter whose existence is not independent of the 'popular culture'. 
Completely irrelevant 'trivia' should of course be removed. In my book a simple correspondence of name is not evidence of relevance. Ben MacDuiTalk/Walk 16:04, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not saying the trivia items are irrelevant. I just don't like indiscriminate lists of unrelated facts in articles. The trivia tag suggests writing prose about these facts instead of listing them willy-nilly. Foobaz·o< 23:18, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: At the peak of the last ice age when sea levels were roughly 200 feet lower, there was indeed an Island off the western coast of what is now Ireland.  That was probably around 12000-13000 or so years ago.   It has been suggested by some that this is the origin of Hy Brasil and knowledge of this island has been passed down by people who lived in the area.   At least this is what I have read in a couple of places on the internet.   So I am curious if there is solid confirmation of the existence of such a prehistoric island and if it indeed located where Hy Brasil was supposedly located.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.191.251.196 (talk) 12:56, 28 November 2017 (UTC)
thread_title: Ice Age existence

message: Actually those two are related, as the article of Hy-Brasil in the portuguese wikipedia says, they also have a reference for it.
