Melangell

i am nominating this for a good topic because i'm proud of the articles and have been told it would make a good GT scope. the three articles in this topic are related to the early medieval Welsh saint Melangell, and all were written by me.

Melangell was an early medieval Welsh hermit and abbess. According to her hagiography, Historia Divae Monacellae, she was an Irish princess who fled an arranged marriage and became a consecrated virgin in the wilderness of the Kingdom of Powys. She supernaturally protected a hare from a prince's hunting dogs, and was granted land to found a sanctuary and convent. She is considered the patron saint of hares, and her cult has been closely centered at St Melangell's Church, where she allegedly founded the monastery.

• Support: All three articles are GA or FA. The topic is a locally venerated saint, including the saint's article, the parish where the cultus is dominant, and the primary (roughly) contemporaneous hagiography. That's pretty comprehensive. Looks like a no-brainer. Nice work, sawyer! ~ Pbritti (talk) 00:30, 26 November 2024 (UTC)
• Support, as one of the people who's been hassling you to nominate this as GT :) ♠PMC♠ (talk) 00:36, 26 November 2024 (UTC)
• Comment: Sawyer, this topic needs a short paragraph to comply with criterion 4. I'd also strongly recommend adding a freely-licensed image as an illustration if possible, and removing Melangell from the bottom list as it's already at the top. These are minor concerns, though, and I expect to have no problems supporting once these are done! —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 01:42, 26 November 2024 (UTC)

• Support. I've corrected the formatting and added an image (one of the saint, from the church featured). Happy editing, SilverTiger12 (talk) 01:45, 26 November 2024 (UTC)
