Merger proposal[edit]

I propose that Leonard MacNally be merged into Leonard McNally. I created Leonard McNally based on the spelling in reliable sources (e.g. references cited in article) being unaware of the Leonard MacNally article. Having now looked at Leonard MacNally, the spelling is derived solely from the 1911 edition of Encyclopedia Britannica and derivatives, and is incorrect. I think, therefore, that the two articles duplicate the same subject and are most appropriately merged into the Leonard McNally article, as the form of the name supported by most reliable sources. I would leave "Leonard MacNally" as a re-direct to Leonard McNally. DeCausa (talk) 00:14, 30 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

'lyricist' or 'poet'[edit]

Which better suits the subject? Gaelicbow (talk) 17:46, 23 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The sources describe him as a lyricist. That's what we follow. DeCausa (talk) 19:15, 23 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Richard Coeur de Lion (1786)[edit]

Pinging @DeCausa with a query. Richard Coeur de Lion (1786) is among the opera plays that Leonard McNally is credited with. But, what about the same titled play of the same year by John Burgoyne. I'm assuming they are the same play, or are they different. Thanks, Gaelicbow (talk) 12:47, 11 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

According to Richard Coeur de Lion (play) (with citation) they were 2 different plays - which is what this source also says. DeCausa (talk) 20:56, 11 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
