I'd suggest moving the Irish tale [from The Voyage of Bran (Richard New Forest (talk) 22:33, 24 February 2009 (UTC))] to its proper title Immram Brain (now a redirect with a history), which is after all how the text is usually referred to in scholarly literature. And yes, encyclopedias like Celtic Culture (ed. John T. Koch) also favour the Irish title, whether Immram Brain or Immram Brain maic Febail.

Oppose. This is the English name, and has been since Kuno Meyer's edition of it. We have several Gaelic Wikipedias for those who find any of the Gaelics easier than the English. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 22:29, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

Oppose. The proposed title may be the "proper" Gaelic one, but this is the English wiki. For those of us without the Gaelic, that name is meaningless – I confess that I had no clue as to what it meant, despite being more familiar with the story than many. I think we have to stick with the English name, which is surely far more widely used outside academic circles. Richard New Forest (talk) 22:33, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
