Abreha we Atsbeha

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

This article is about two people who allegedly became Christians in the 4th-century B.C.E., which screams that the topic is likely a hoax. The "news" report in the article doesn't really provide any evidence of this other than a passing mention. The other source is a travel guide, which doesn't really contribute notability. I can't find much more on these topics, and it appears that the article on the couple of individuals fails WP:BASIC and WP:GNG — Mikehawk10 (talk) 00:13, 22 November 2021 (UTC)

 * Comment I do not think this is a WP:HOAX. Visiting the source from which the 4th Century BCE citation derives, the source itself says adopted Christianity in the 4th century, which makes more sense. snood1205(Say Hi! (talk)) 01:40, 22 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep only the briefest of WP:BEFORE reveals literally hundreds of scholarly sources talking about these brothers. I've done a pretty miserable job of trying to improve the article and add sources as I'm not too familiar with the topic. I'm sure other editors could do a better job than me. There maybe a case down the track to merge this with Ezana of Axum but I think once information about their church is added it's a pretty good stand-alone topic. Yes the brothers probably never lived but that doesn't effect their notability. Also a move to "Abreha and Atsbeha" in the future would be good. Vladimir.copic (talk) 02:38, 22 November 2021 (UTC)
