The FAC review 1 ( Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Nuckelavee/archive1) that was retracted by candidates and closed 13:11, 15 July 2014 by Ian Rose There is not much discussed here except the lack of image, so I won't transclude it. -- Kiyoweap ( talk) 20:03, 12 July 2016 (UTC)
In the rewritten version by Awien:
is more or less "correct", except Hibbert does not mention "nuckelavee" or "nuck" at all. If you cant attribute a claim to a single source, but have to find a separate source for pieces of the argument ("the component nuck of the nuckelavee's name is cognate with Nick" part) it becomes WP:SYNTH.
@ Cas Liber: I already pointed out a synth issue with this portion in FAR, although what was happening for the earlier draft was different. Perhaps I didnt explain it well enough and, it looks like you didnt understand. I wasn't contesting the plausibility of the claim, to which your response would have bearing. I wasnt. Synth is a sourcing issue. Hibbert's vocabulary in Orkney is "trow/troicis" from the manuscript, therfore, "nuckelavee" or "nuck" is not in any part of his etymological discussion. The intelligence we might get from Marwick that mukkelvi is a sea trow does not change this one squat, so your response was totally moot. -- Kiyoweap ( talk) 07:00, 14 July 2016 (UTC)
I have marked this articles as satisfactory [2], but noted an unsourced pop culture section has been added since FAC. Sources should be added, or perhaps the section should just be removed, as it is pure WP:trivia. FunkMonk ( talk) 18:07, 8 December 2020 (UTC)
