They results dont make any sense to me . How did canada lose 3 games and still go one to win the competistion. Please explain further ( Gnevin 19:48, 19 August 2006 (UTC))
Please take a minute to have a read of the updates. Canadagaa ( talk) 04:25, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
I propose that the lead be revised to the following:
Canadian GAA is the informal name by which the Canadian County Board of the Gaelic Athletic Association is usually known.
It is one of over 30 regional executive boards throughout the world. While they are known as "county" boards, some are no longer co-extensive with the area of counties of Ireland and still others are outside Ireland altogether, nevertheless the term enjoys common usage. Canadian GAA has jurisdiction over the whole of Canada.
The Board's role is to promote and regulate Gaelic games as well as to bear responsibility for the Board's inter-county teams.
Another editor seems to think that this is either non NPOV or involves a name change. I contend that it neither of these things. It clarifies an ambiguous name. If an ordinary Canadian happened across this article, he might be shocked to discover that Canada is a mere county, not the larger part of a continent in the eyes of the GAA. The proposed lead provides context for this surprising news. Laurel Lodged ( talk) 19:28, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
The Canadian GAA is responsible for Gaelic games all across Canada. It has the same status as one of the county boards of Ireland and is one of over thirty regional GAA executive boards throughout the world. The board is responsible for the Canadian Gaelic football, Hurling, Camogie and Ladies' Gaelic football teams.
Just an idea Laurel, more mutton for the stew. I cant see how either would be ambiguous. Murry1975 ( talk) 19:48, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
It looks like the hurling section is written like a promotional article, rather than a wiki article, and is possibly just copied from another source. I think it should be rewritten or removed. TimeEngineer ( talk) 17:01, 3 July 2020 (UTC)
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
I propose that we merge Toronto GAA and Western Canada GAA Divisional Board into Canadian GAA. None of them are very expansive or high quality, and bringing them together will allow all the information to be in one place. Also, right now none of them have any references! @ Laurel Lodged, BrownHairedGirl, Canadagaa, Gnevin, and Bellerophon5685: thoughts? TimeEngineer ( talk) 17:14, 3 July 2020 (UTC)

Thanks TimeEngineer for the ping on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Gaelic games. In all honesty, I broadly concur with the assessment. That a merge is almost certainly appropriate. As it seems unlikely that the Toronto Division Board and Western Canada Divisional Board articles can stand on their own. For several different WP:MERGEREASONs. I am happy to pare them back to what can be supported. And merge/redirect that to a short "divisions" section on Canadian GAA. After that (or perhaps even in parallel) a significant chunk of the rest of the body (of Canadian GAA) should be pared back to what the sources can support. In terms of those sources, there seems to be a book titled "The History of the Gaelic Athletic Association in Canada" (O'Flynn; 2008). And there may be some coverage available of the so-called Skydome Games (in March 1990 and 1991). Otherwise, much of the rest needs a significant review. If there's anything that you want to take a pass at yourself, let me know. Otherwise I'm happy to start with a case-by-case and line-by-line review of the two "divisional board" articles. In advance of a (probable) merge/redirect. And we can see from there. Guliolopez ( talk) 17:50, 6 July 2020 (UTC)
Yeah, I guess I jumped the gun a bit there. TimeEngineer ( talk) 14:21, 15 July 2020 (UTC)
- I have removed the merge suggestions for the other 3 pages, and have added the table of teams. Thank you all for your contributions. At the end of this process, we have a much better article with proper references, and a strong foundation to build on in the future. Thank you all for your support on this.
