Dubious

The following discussion is closed and will soon be archived.

If the subject here is the business, then the suggestion (in the infobox) that it opened in 1324 is dubious at best. And feels like a Trigger's Broom/Theseus paradox claim. The pub's own website clarifies that the building "lay derelict [and] by the 20th century it was in dire need of repair and was substantially refurbished in the 1960s by a group of Kilkenny investors, but still struggled as a business [.until.] In 1986 Kyteler’s Inn was acquired by its present owner". At best therefore the current business was opened in the 1960s or 1980s.

If the subject here is the building, then where does this date come from? Again, the pub's own website states that, "in 1324, [Alice de Kyteler] fled to England to escape being burned as a witch and in July of that year, her property, including Kytelers Inn was confiscated". How does that work exactly? The building was built in her absence? Or she built it while on the run? Huh?

This all just seems like folklore repackaged as marketing guff to be honest. And while that might be fine for the businesses purposes (and more power to them), it is not OK for ours. Guliolopez (talk) 19:44, 30 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Resolved This is now addressed. In that the editor who originally added the date has since removed it. Closing thread. Guliolopez (talk) 09:55, 3 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
