Despite the "entry" in the Dictionary of Welsh Biography, I cannot find any significant coverage of this authorthat would establish GNG. Even the DWB provides minimal information, suggesting all we know is "Two poems bearing his name will be found in NLW MS 832E and one in Sotheby MS B2 ." We can't build an encyclopedic article based upon that.

Delete. It doesn't bode well when the only sourced sentence is contradicted by the only source. In any event, I can't find any sources at all besides the DWB entry, either for Hugh Bulkeley or for the Welsh Huw Bwlclai.

Delete I have completed a fairly exhaustive search and cannot find that the person is notable. The entry in the dictionary refers to the person but links to two pieces which were not even authored by the person.

Comment Some sources have been added to the article, but at least two of these, and probably the third as well, are talking about a different person of the same name. The Loomis source says that Hugh Bulkeley's father was constable of Beaumaris castle in 1440, so this Hugh can't be from the 17th century. Williams & Kenyon mention two poems, not by Hugh Bulkeley, but addressed to him; these are the same poems mentioned
here, from which it can be seen that this is again the 15th-century Hugh. As for the Advertiser source, it doesn't give enough context for a firm identification, but it's talking about the Bulkeley family of Macclesfield, who have not been in Wales since the reign of King John, so it seems unlikely that a 17th-century member of the family would be included in the Dictionary of Welsh Biography.

@
7&6=thirteen: Please read the sources you're adding. Carr 2017 says that a 15th-century poet, Lewys Môn, "praised the military virtues of Hugh Bulkeley, deputy constable of Conway". You've used this to source the claim that the poems of 17th-century bard Hugh Bulkeley are "noted for their martial themes". There is more than one person in history called Hugh Bulkeley.

Delete on account of lack of sources supporting notability. I do not mind that the text was uploaded by a terminally blocked contributor. But the cavalier attitude towards
guidelines and
policies does grate. -
