 * Delete, merge into Urhobo people It's a self-proclaimed empire and would be more accurately called a clan. It's a real group of people ( and ) but they are very understudied, therefore not apparently notable. Chris Troutman  ( talk ) 20:53, 17 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep or Merge to Urhobo_people at least until there are more independent sources that can support a standalone article . 24.151.10.165 (talk) 18:15, 18 August 2014 (UTC) Keep added per reasoning below. 24.151.10.165 (talk) 14:42, 22 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep We have enough sources to demonstrate that it exists as a unique topic. Current recogniztion is not needed for an article.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:35, 18 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep This is a very valid subject that deserves a stand alone article. It represents an identity (like a subtribe of Urhobo), just like Igbomina tribe. There may not be wide online coverage, but I'm sure it's very well covered in Nigerian books. I don't even understand how the user that nominated this article can think it isn't a "real" kingdom, when there are valid references on the article--Jamie Tubers (talk) 21:23, 18 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep -- The nom may expect a kingdom to be rather larger than this, but here we might substitute "chief" for "king". Peterkingiron (talk) 17:33, 24 August 2014 (UTC)
