De-PRODed in 2009. Article about a supposed mythological creature in eastern European legend. The only references to it that I can find are from Dungeons & Dragons and Final Fantasy fan sites, and one mention in an adaptation of Beowulf. I would love to find a source about the original folklore, but I see nothing. As it stands, this does not pass WP:GNG. Mbdfar (talk) 18:51, 22 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - lack of coverage in reliable sources Spiderone 20:37, 22 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - If someone wanted to create a Redirect to an appropriate D&D or FF related article after deletion, that would probably be fine. But as it stands, this article is complete WP:OR, and should absolutely not be retained as a result. I am finding no evidence that this word was ever used in mythology or as an alternate word for a type of hag, which again, appears to be original research.

Delete. This was actually deleted via PROD in 2009, then restored by KrakatoaKatie about a month ago after a request on her talk page. There has clearly been zero attempt at improvement since then, and no indication of any real-world sourcing. (And to be pedantic, it's actually wrong - "sahagin" has never been a D&D monster. In D&D, it's always been spelled Sahuagin, and that is a redirect to a list, which should tell you all you need to know about the real-world notability of this monster.) ♠PMC♠ (talk) 23:11, 22 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete No sources listed, if it's a folklore-themed article, ref links to any peer-reviewed journal of folklore could establish notability. As is, non-existant sources. Oaktree b (talk) 01:03, 23 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete like so many other articles created in 2004 this one lacks sources. We cannot have unsourced articles, it violates the principles of verrifiability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 15:04, 23 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
