This was one of the 50+ Polynesian mythology articles submitted in a big batch (see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ahoeitu). After much discussion at that afd, I'm re-submitting all of the items individually. Some of them may be keepers, most of them will be deletable. I'm deferring to editors such as User:Kahuroa who know their Polynesian mythology as to which is which. Grutness...wha? 05:23, 31 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. I've added a reference to Craig, Dictionary of Polynesian Mythology. Unless someone can make a good argument against notability, it should probably be kept. Bucketsofg 05:36, 31 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep given verification by Bucketsofg. My view is that verifiable gods or mythical figures listed in reliable sources are notable. Capitalistroadster 05:47, 31 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep tho it must come from a rare version of the story of Māui and so I am not comfortable with it being given the blanket description 'in Māori mythology' as if it were the 'standard' version or something, which it aint. I would like to see a tribal origin traced for this, but in the meantime, fair enough. Kahuroa 06:30, 31 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Later comment: I traced a further reference, Tregear 1891, possibly the ultimate source.Kahuroa 10:17, 4 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep, verifiable. --Terence Ong 16:18, 31 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - as above. For great justice. 16:43, 31 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
