Michabo

Keep This god is notable if you are an algonquin indian. It has a crater on Io named after it. What more notability does one need than a crater? Seriously, this god may not be notable to many people expressing an opinion here, but it has notability asserted sufficient to be kept. Fiddle Faddle 15:47, 27 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Article says Michabo was a principal deity of the Algonquins. That sounds notable to me. Unlikely to get much Google play, but that shouldn't be the test here. NawlinWiki 15:48, 27 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - Haha, I never thought I'd see "NN god". Anyways, I would vote keep if reliable sources are presented. Wickethewok 19:09, 27 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, notable per Fiddle Faddle. --Coredesat talk 21:52, 27 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
If it were a made-up minor god from, say, a Terry Pratchett book (you know what I mean when I say "made-up", okay?), then deletion would be appropriate, but as it's a "real" god (you know what I mean, okay?), then keep. --Calton | Talk 02:34, 28 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep If he's notable enough to have a crater named after him, he should be notable enough for Wikipedia. (IMO, it's cases like these why notability isn't and shouldn't be an inflexible policy. Michabo isn't that notable in the great scheme of things but an article about him would still be expected in a complete encyclopedia). Eluchil404 18:34, 1 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, encyclopedic entry. Seems to be easily verifiable from any number of sources, so I don't think that's the question. I'm not sure if we need to get into "what is a notable historical diety?". Kuru ^talk 20:50, 2 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
