"Čhetáŋ" (~~not~~ or Cetan) is the Lakota word for hawk, and though I don't doubt the existence of a hawk spirit of some kind in Lokota mythology, I can't find any evidence that this one is notable. Unsourced since 2002 (!). List of Lakota deities, where Cetan is listed, could be a redirect target, but I don't see much use in redirecting without at least one reliable source confirming this spirit's existence.

Delete I agree it doesn't deserve it's own Wikipedia article. I'll go through and add professional sources to the Lakota deities list and remove the ones that I can't find any information on in my vast library on the topic. By the way, there's different orthographies for Lakota and Cetan is correct in a few of them. The other version you stated as correct is just another orthography presented by the Lakota Language Consortium which is owned and operated by Europeans. oncamera _{(talk page)} 15:27, 7 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- @Oncamera: thank you for your insight on the orthography, I've updated my nomination statement accordingly :) Lennart97 (talk) 15:44, 7 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Seems more like a wiktionary entry and is uncited. Yuchitown (talk) 16:47, 14 November 2021 (UTC)Yuchitown[reply]
