Egyptian tree of life[edit]

The (sole) author of the article has not responed to the accuracy dispute. Although some chunks of the subject matter are factual in themselves, they do not seem to fit into any documented Egyptian Tree of Life in the way the author states. Another tree of life article already exists--Alicejenny 07:50, 9 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

N.B. Just noted the new link [[1]] at the bottom. Check out their "services" [[2]]. Looks like a scam to me.--Alicejenny 12:09, 9 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as apparent original research, per nom. Just zis Guy, you know? ^[T]/_[C] :: AfD? 10:37, 9 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Delete "If these gods are placed on the Sephiroth in order of succession of their birth" — cool, does that happen in Final Fantasy VII or Kingdom Hearts? Agree with above comments, zap as OR. Anville 11:22, 9 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

weak keep Tree of life is only a redirect to Tree of life (disambiguation). The page seems to be serious, not a joke. Another option might be a merge -> Egyptian mythology if there is anything worth keeping but not enough to justify a page. I'd be inclined to leave the page and tag it as a stub.

If this is authentic mythology, then so is Zena, Warrior Princess. It's junk.--Alicejenny 12:17, 9 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

weak delete Egyptian tree of life is clearly to be a real concept and a real article on that subject might be OK. This this seems a mismash of real mythology. The 'Sephiroth' seems to be a reworking of another image from the same site as the one the author credits for the hyroglphics. [3] The user is quite active on a number of pages, but I don't have the knowledge to know if he's being helpful or a subtle vandal. Ben Aveling 20:35, 9 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I killed the link because as far as I can tell, it is completely extraneous to this article and doesn't have anything to do with the text (it also was apparently added by someone other than the author of this article). As for the article, it appears to violate WP:NOR. I can't find any outside sourcing or citation for this article, and in fact I'm not even sure what they are trying to say here. "If these gods are placed on the Sephiroth in order of succession of their birth the Egyptian correspondence of the Tree of Life becomes obvious." Maybe I'm daft, but it's not obvious to me. If someone wants to cite sources for this to prove it is not original research and rewrite the article so it's not so esoteric, I'd be willing to revisit my vote.--Isotope23 14:35, 9 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Delete No refs, and I've not been able to verify any of it. If it's legitimate, someone can write a new article later with proper refs. But I doubt it; the tree of life in Egypt is connected with the Osiris myth, and I'm familiar with that, but I don't have any idea where all this is coming from. No ref - delete. --DanielCD 20:21, 9 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
