Delete. First I heard of it. Volunteer Marek 06:05, 27 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

comment This is some notion of Marija Gimbutas (see [1]), but I don't know offhand whether it has any traction, and I don't know how Poland has anything to do with this, since we're talking neolithic era speculations. Mangoe (talk) 13:17, 27 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Marija Gimbutas as a plausible search term. The article states clearly that this is a modern neologism that originated with Gimbutas, but I guess the question is whether or not it is notable enough for a stand-alone article. I don't think so. A very brief reference to it is cited by Thorkild Jacobsen in a book edited by Richard S. Hess and David Toshio Tsumura [2] and other academic sources (e.g. Miriam Robbins Dexter[3], Vassos Karageorghis[4], Anthropological Quarterly[5], proceedings of a Thracology conference [6]). There appears to be reference to it in The Journal of Prehistoric Religion[7], which appears to be an academic source(see [8]) but I can't say for sure. Incidentally, there is a reference to this in Pensive Christ. Hamangia culture does not currently mention it, but it appears to be connected.

Redirect this should have been nipped in the bud five years ago. Chris Troutman (talk) 19:46, 27 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect per above. And though it's not reason to delete in itself, that this doesn't have an article on plwiki does suggest this isn't just a linguistic issue on enwiki. --— Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 20:39, 27 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - There doesn't seem to be significant coverage in reliable sources. I question the value of a redir, but don't object if that is the consensus. - - MrBill3 (talk) 02:48, 1 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
