Diwe

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Mythical creature, limited references, should probably just be a redirect to Iranian folklore. --SquidSK (1MC•log) 17:35, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

 * Comment - after poking around some more, should probably be redirected to Daeva. --SquidSK (1MC•log) 17:44, 24 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

Comment - I note that "Diwe" is listed at WikiProject Missing encyclopedic articles/Hotlist of Mythology & Folklore/D3. Lady of  Shalott  02:00, 1 December 2009 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, – Juliancolton  &#124; Talk 00:23, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Comment - Do you have a source or expert saying this is a form of daeva? It seems very plausible; I just want to be sure. --Chris Johnson (talk) 03:40, 1 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Response - I do not. Pure OR/guessing on my part.  --SquidSK (1MC•log) 19:52, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep, we have three significant sources on this article. Nominator's rationale sounds more like a merge proposal than a delete proposal, and merging is best proposed away from AFD.  Nyttend (talk) 01:17, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep and sort out what it is and what is should be called. We need more coverage of Iranian folklore. ChildofMidnight (talk) 01:18, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
