 * Keep : I don't mean to be confronting or offending anyone's decision. I see that you are worried about WP:SYNTHESIS. However, I believe that mythology about eyes, folktales about eyes, symbols of eyes, etc. are parts of culture related to eyes, in accordance to You don't need to cite that the sky is blue. There are citations and sources which provide enough information about Meitei folktale on eye, Meitei mythology on eye, Meitei perspective on eye, etc. --Haoreima (talk) 16:01, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Since you have created a bunch of such articles, could you explain if you think Wikipedia merits an article X in Meitei culture for every body part X? Brusquedandelion (talk) 03:57, 13 February 2024 (UTC)
 * I didn't create articles on everything, or every body parts. I create on the facts supported by sources! Haoreima (talk) 04:00, 13 February 2024 (UTC)
 * That's not what I asked though. Could you answer the question which was asked? Brusquedandelion (talk) 07:26, 13 February 2024 (UTC)
 * I haven't fully investigated the article, but I would agree with this statement. So leaning keep. 🌺 Cremastra (talk) 21:25, 13 February 2024 (UTC)

 * Delete WP:SYNTHESIS. It covers random DYK facts - words with the word mit (eye) in it, eyes of deities, python eye amulets, evil eye, carving Hindu deities' icon's eyes (which is not uniquely Meitei, rather pan-Hindu thing), eyes of dolls, eye actions in a dance form. The section "Divine eyes" is pure SYTH; going through the references; the references are about the deities with 1000 eyes; however the books devote a line or 2 about the eyes in paras about deity overall. There is explicit reference "all-seeing eye".-- Redtigerxyz Talk 17:59, 23 February 2024 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * With regret, delete per WP:SYNTH. It was really interesting to read the article, but we need evidence of sources in which the role of eyes in Meiti culture is discussed across the various examples presented in the article.  The editor(s) who contributed to this article should save their good work and try to get it published somewhere more appropriate, maybe as an article in a local newspaper or historical review journal.

 * Delete: Do we need list of every XYZ  thing in Meitei culture? This has more charts than actual prose, and most are simply "here's the word in other languages" without much critical discussion of the XYZ being discussed. Oaktree b (talk) 14:12, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
