No Sources, seems like it could fall under A7, i've also checked the notes. 1 bears no mentions of the article's subject, 2 brings up a 'Network Error' and 3 is completely unrelated to the subject of the article. MIVP - (Can I Help?) (Maybe a bit of tea for thought?) 15:00, 14 March 2013 (UTC)

While i'm here I should point out that almost all of the IPs Contributions are page creations. Could someone please check through the reminaing contributions and see what else could go? MIVP - (Can I Help?) (Maybe a bit of tea for thought?) 15:10, 14 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment. That IP editor seems to be deeply interested in Rumanian folklore.  Most of the edits appear to be about real things and appear to me to be in good faith.  They really ought to get an account, though. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 15:21, 14 March 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep. The automated Scholar search reveals at minimum that there are sources confirming a Thracian or Dacian god of this name.  "Darzalas" seems to be slightly more common.  There are good sources, even if most of the current ones look unreliable.  Forgotten gods are encyclopedia subjects even if little remains of their myths, imagery, or realms of influence. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 15:12, 14 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep I added a couple of references (a book and a journal article) that look like reliable sources, both from the first page of a Google search, verifying the existence of the deity and their appearance on the coinage. This was a real deity, there are reliable sources, the article should be kept. --Mark viking (talk) 21:03, 14 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep. The article and its sources as they now stand seems to me to satisfy notability requirements. Ducknish (talk) 22:57, 14 March 2013 (UTC)
