Article is unsourced and a WP:BEFORE search did not return sufficient RS coverage to establish GNG. Most coverage is found in fringe sources. –dlthewave ☎ 13:31, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep or Move to Draft the ru:Чучуна article (google translate) describes the topic within folklore and ethnography. The main source isGurvich I.S. (1975). Mysterious Chuchun (the story of an ethnographic search). Moscow: Thought. and accepted by editors on that project. The text is available here with a not very confidence inspiring cover photo. The explanation provided in the source is that the sightings were of isolated Chukchi. Isn't WP:TRANSLATETOHERE a better option?—eric 14:17, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Here's some biographical information for the author.—eric 14:26, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Anikin, A.E. (1999). "On the Yakut names of wild people" (PDF). Languages and folklore of the indigenous peoples of Siberia. 5. looks good also, discusses from a linguistic perspective.—eric 15:54, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Machine translation and copyedit to User:EricR/Chuchuna, there's a number of problems with it, not least of which is it needs someone with Russian to look it over.—eric 17:26, 5 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - Despite WP:AFD's "C. Consider whether the article could be improved rather than deleted", without any sources my original suggestion would have been to redirect to Yeti. With some found and the fact a more complete article could eventually be translated, it may merit its entry... —PaleoNeonate – 06:40, 3 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Seems to have some sources, needs work is all.Slatersteven (talk) 12:19, 3 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep, meets WP:GNG, sources available from Russian WP article, this site lists a number of news articles that cover this creature, it was also the subject of a Destination Truth episode (here). Coolabahapple (talk) 00:36, 5 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
