 * Keep - A simple Google Books search provided several useful sources. Aside from "small, unsignificant subject", would you please clarify why this article should be deleted? SwisterTwister   talk  22:24, 23 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep Found as a heading in dictionaries/encyclopedias of mythology, Bell's Women of classical mythology, etc, as well as books on Greek epic. But if consensus is that it really doesn't deserve a separate article, it should be merged to a list of nymphs/naiads/minor mythological figures. --Colapeninsula (talk) 22:37, 23 October 2012 (UTC)
 * I personally believe then, that either Abarbarea needs someone to baby it, and add more detail, or merge it to a Nymphs, naiads etc. etc. page. ᶲAstridᶲ • (Let's do this!) 23:53, 23 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Strong keep. Notable mythological figure. Article is short and needs expansion. Significant coverage by reliable secondary sources: Aphrodite's Entry Into Greek Epic published by BRILL, The Mother of the Gods, Athens, and the Tyranny of Asia published by University of California Press, and even Homer's Iliad, one of Western literature's earliest and greatest works.-- xanchester  (t)  16:31, 24 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Merge I have to vote on a merge. This is because she is mentioned only once or twice in each source, each of which a primarily quoting Homer's original and singular mention of her. In fact, Aphrodite's Entry Into the Greek Epic, mentioned above states her insignificance on page 68; "Her function in epic is limited to producing two sons who were killed in battle...except Abarbarea (Another indication of her strictly local importance.)" Additionally, despite her appearance in Bibliotheca Classica and Bell's, she is still mentioned only briefly, and her articles in those books restate Homer's work. ᶲAstridᶲ • (Let's do this!) 21:21, 24 October 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep per sources above in Google Books. Clearly meets WP:GNG; there are entries in various books about mythology on this. Together these amount to significant coverage in reliable secondary sources. --Batard0 (talk) 05:23, 30 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep Per sources at Google Books that showcase the notability of the subject. — ΛΧΣ  21™  19:42, 30 October 2012 (UTC)
