Cetan

 * – ( View AfD View log )

"Čhetáŋ" ( not or Cetan) is the Lakota word for hawk, and though I don't doubt the existence of a hawk spirit of some kind in Lokota mythology, I can't find any evidence that this one is notable. Unsourced since 2002 (!). List of Lakota deities, where Cetan is listed, could be a redirect target, but I don't see much use in redirecting without at least one reliable source confirming this spirit's existence.

 * Delete I agree it doesn't deserve it's own Wikipedia article. I'll go through and add professional sources to the Lakota deities list and remove the ones that I can't find any information on in my vast library on the topic. By the way, there's different orthographies for Lakota and Cetan is correct in a few of them. The other version you stated as correct is just another orthography presented by the Lakota Language Consortium which is owned and operated by Europeans. oncamera   (talk page)  15:27, 7 November 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete. Seems more like a wiktionary entry and is uncited. Yuchitown (talk) 16:47, 14 November 2021 (UTC)Yuchitown
