Ethiopian Culture Bound Mental Health Difficulties

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Unencyclopaedic essay/chart that doesn't appear to meet WP:N. Without wishing to dismiss non-western cultures, a lot of it appears to be WP:FRINGE interpretations as well. I think it would have to be started over to be a properly encyclopaedic discussion of mental health in an Ethiopian context, or a discussion of Ethiopian cultural beliefs.

 * Delete as likely hoax. I can't even find these terms in an Amharic dictionary. I will retract this with apologies if you can provide a source for this information. --Sammy1339 (talk) 16:51, 31 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete, completely unsourced and unencyclopedic. &mdash; Cirt (talk) 03:45, 1 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:TNT - this is a complete mess. Bearian (talk) 15:08, 3 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete, I recognize a few of the terms (e.g. Buda (folk religion)) but the descriptions are OR at best. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 13:13, 4 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Update: At least some of these are legitimate terms, while the rest (and/or their descriptions) didn't sound familiar at all. Abisho, for one, also has a different (if somewhat related) meaning according to this source. In any case, the article still fails WP:V. Agree with Bearian that WP:TNT is probably the way to go. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 02:42, 5 November 2014 (UTC)
