Ekatel
Was put on speedy, but anon creator of article removed speedy message. Doesn't fit speedy criteria anyway, but i cannot confirm factual accuracy of the article. -- Ferkelparade &pi; 13:06, 20 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete if it stays as a substub at the end of the VfD period. I got zero English-language Google hits (Got some czechs (sp?) ones and couple unrelated ones) and zero total hits for "Ekatel god" and "Ekatel Iceland". Apparently a non-notable god? jni 13:20, 20 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete: The Germanic settlers of Iceland were illiterate. So....  We've got an island unvisited, and we have a people who can't leave names going there.  They say there's no one there, later in their sagas.  Were there to have been someone there, those folks would also have been unable to tell anyone the name of their deities, and the people they could have told couldn't have told anyone else.  I'd say this is patent nonsense.  Seems to me to be totally impossible.  The Icelanders don't record meeting any indigenous peoples when they went to Iceland.  They normally acknowledge people they killed (after the fact, in the sagas).  Geogre 14:53, 20 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. No relevant google hits, no references, appears to be nonsense. -- Sietse 15:16, 20 Oct 2004 (UTC)
