Lysa Hora (folklore)[edit]

Tagged as having no sources for more than two years, no indication that the topic has notability enough for its own article instead of just a brief mention elsewhere where appropriate. DreamGuy (talk) 20:22, 12 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Unsourced is not a valid reason for deletion, a quick googling suggests there are sources out there. Jenuk1985 | Talk 20:41, 12 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Suggests? It's up to the article to prove notability, not for people just to assume it without evidence. If you find real sources, then add them. I'm not finding any, and the ones Esasus drug up failed miserably. DreamGuy (talk) 23:31, 13 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Jenuk is right. Existing lack of sources is not a valid reason for deletion unless it cannot improve by adding sources or unless leaving it unsourced is particularly harmful (like accusations in BLPs). None of it is the case here. - Mgm|^(talk) 00:18, 13 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

My argument is that it cannot be improved because of lack of reliable soures demonstrating notability per our criteria. If you disagree, then you should make some effort to prove it. Come on, you've been doing AFD long enough that you should have an inkling of how the process works. DreamGuy (talk) 23:31, 13 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Your nomination didn't show you gave it a quick cursory glance for sources before nominating. No one is expecting you to source the entire article, but you should check up on its potential per the deletion guide. - Mgm|^(talk) 11:26, 15 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as per Jenuk. 14:22, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
Keep - I have added a reference and an external link to this article, which provides more than enough sources to validate this article as a keep. Esasus (talk) 20:41, 13 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

We need reliable sources, not random internet fluff. Those links failed both WP:RS and WP:EL, and quite pectuacularly I might add. DreamGuy (talk) 23:31, 13 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Under its Russian name "Лысая гора", there appears to be many in-depth reliable sources that have been written about this topic. [1][2][3][4] Many more here. --Oakshade (talk) 01:21, 14 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
