*H₂eryo-men

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

TL:DR - this is all WP:OR. The opening of this page makes the claim that this is the name of a reconstructed proto-indo-european deity, but only one of the page sources even has the word, and that is Mallory & Adams, which says, inter alia, Another possible mythic reflection of a healing deity may be seen in the Indo-Iranian Aryaman-Airyaman and the Irish Eremon « *h₄erjo-men-). So one source conjectures a possible common root for a healing deity, and suggests derivation from a PIE word, but does not reconstruct the deity. In any case, the deity reconstructed in this article is WP:OR and WP:SYNTH because it uses sources that describe the derivative deities and imputes those functions (e.g god of roads, of welfare etc.) back on the purely conjectural root. This goes beyond the sources. The only source that says any more is a self published one. See also Articles for deletion/H₂weh₁yú for a similar issue. I have today reviewed all the sources on the page and marked up issues, but have not modified any page text. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 20:19, 19 September 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom. The article's sources don't support the claim that a god of this name existed in PIE mythology. Sojourner in the earth (talk) 12:01, 20 September 2023 (UTC)
