 * Keep. Nomination is badly formatted, possibly did not look at WP:BEFORE before nominating. The source referred to above is a reliable one, viz. the official website of the International Astronomical Union's Working Group for Planetary System Nomenclature (WGPSN), which maintains the astronomical naming conventions and planetary nomenclature for planetary bodies; this source directly confirms that they named a crater after this Bushman deity, therefore !Xu is an authentic Bushman deity. I have added a few more citations, including a Bushman dictionary by D.F. Bleek whose good authority is noted on the talk page. The page has been present for 10 years and was created by an editor who is no longer active but seems to have done plenty of good-faith work, so there are no tell-tale signs of a hoax. (I should know – at one time two of the ten longest-standing hoaxes on the list were found by me.) – Fayenatic  L ondon 20:37, 20 November 2014 (UTC)
