Unsourced stub on an alleged figure of Albanian folk mythology. Was originally sourced to "Encyclopedia Mythica", recently debunked as a thoroughly unreliable source (Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Archive214#Unreliable source alert: "Encyclopedia Mythica" (pantheon.org)). Was previously included in a group AfD of Enc.Myth.-related articles which was speedy-closed, but no improvement has been seen on the article since. Fut.Perf. ☼ 20:00, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

• Strong keep - The term is explained in great detail by this book: Elsie, Robert (2001). A dictionary of Albanian religion, mythology and folk culture. p. 259. ISBN 978-1850655701. I'm also troubled by the fact that pantheon.org/articles/e/eisa.html is described as "total nonsense" in an effort that ultimately resulted in blacklisting the website, because the content of that page is echoed by a number of books, one dating back as far as 115 years.   — C M B J   20:08, 8 July 2010 (UTC)
• Keep - significant coverage in reliable sources is demonstrate through GoogleBooks. Claritas § 20:15, 8 July 2010 (UTC)
• Keep per sources found above, which are not the only ones. -- Blanchardb -^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}- timed 20:20, 8 July 2010 (UTC)
• Retract nomination, the Elsie source is good enough. Fut.Perf. ☼ 21:27, 8 July 2010 (UTC)
