This says "Ashtanayika are the eight companions of Goddess Durga" but Durga doesn't mention these companions. A search turns up various spellings of Ashta Nayika which is about 8 heroines. One of the sources is [1] which is speculation and clearly not an RS. I removed that and then realised some of the names of the companions were about other subjects, and further investigation made me think AfD is appropriate. I also found the source of the image which I hoped would be enough, but isn't.[2] Doug Weller talk 11:10, 20 January 2020 (UTC)

- Redirect to Ashta Nayika, of which this is a poor WP:FORK. The topic is however quite genuine. Chiswick Chap (talk) 19:11, 20 January 2020 (UTC)
- Redirect to Ashta Nayika, I agree with Chiswick. The topic is genuine but it's a poor emulation of a better article. Tayi Arajakate (talk) 03:07, 26 January 2020 (UTC)
