Not a separate tenent of Buddhism; possible to merge, but little content Chzz ► 02:01, 13 May 2009 (UTC) Non-notable belief or opinion (Nom reasoning changed; I t hought that it claimed to be a part of Buddhist; I see now that this is not the case) Chzz ► 10:42, 13 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- delete At best, not notable belief. At worst, vandalism. Unable to locate WP:RS to substantiate the article's content. I find nothing on Google to connect +Buddhism +Jobwa.
- The ref in the article mentions the subject, Jobwa, as a stick dance.
- No relevant G hits for author of the book that this appears in.
- No Ghits for the book.
- I don't understand the nom statement. If this is a tenet of Buddhism, it would need a source. If the nominator desires a merge, then the thing to do would be to source and propose a merger. (I had originally tagged for CSD as an attack, and it was thus deleted. Recreated, I PRODDED.) Still awaiting sourcing. Dlohcierekim 02:20, 13 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Speedy delete as garbage I've already deleted once before and consider a block of the user. PMDrive1061 (talk) 02:41, 13 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- A further comment-- my PROD is still on the thing, and I still stand by my PROD. Not sure how that affects this. ;). If other eyes find suitable sourcing and notability I missed, willing of course to change to keep. My hope remains that this turns out to be legit, but with sourcing in another language. cheers Dlohcierekim 13:01, 13 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. The Marshallese stick dance described in the reference is certainly notable[1], but I can see no evidence of the existence of the actual subject of the article, let alone of notability. Phil Bridger (talk) 11:46, 14 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment If we determine this content is deletable, I'll be willing to correct the thing to the dance. Dlohcierekim 13:24, 14 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: As an FYI, an article shouldn't be both PRODed and sent to AfD. The AfD process overrides PROD, so I removed the tag. (Also, previously deleted pages are not normally eligible for PROD). --ThaddeusB (talk) 21:23, 19 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
