Green Corn Ceremony
because a German English Administrator is unable to verify the content from Germany (since no Cherokee Live in Germany) and has placed a prod on the page, which means it probably doesn't belong in the Encyclopedia Asgaya Gigagei 06:39, 3 April 2006 (UTC)


 * delete - Unverifiable from the Country of Germany. unsigned by Asgaya Gigagei Keep provided inaccruate information from Google is not associated with Cherokee Tribe since the materials placed by Isotope23 refer to the Oneidas, a tribe that lived 1500 miles north of the Cherokee -- and is totally inaccurate of Creek, Cherokee, and Seminole culture.

 * You may or may not have noticed on the Talk page that I requested that subject experts add subsections on each tribe's specific Green Corn ceremony practices since they are so divergent (provided the information can be sourced per WP:V. Right now I've taken it back to a very general stub.--Isotope23 20:20, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, Wikipedia articles need to be properly sourced so that the information in them can be verified whatever country you live in. Angr (talk • contribs) 07:23, 3 April 2006 (UTC) Keep Isotope23's cleaned up version. Angr (talk • contribs) 17:27, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep tag for sourcing, and edit out unsourced material. whether or not Cherokee live in Germany is completely irrelevant.  It's verifiable from "the Country of Germany"... with a little website I like to call "Google" .  The basic premise of this article can be sourced very easily.  Some of the info appears to be WP:OR and simply needs to be removed.  In fact this could easily be expanded because other native cultures besides the Cherokee celebrate the Green Corn Ceremony.  deletion isn't necessary... cleanup is.--Isotope23 16:04, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. I also googled on the phrase "Green Corn Ceremony" and found any number of hits relating to Native American celebrations.  Creeks and Oneidas were also named as having this.  Should be more comprehensive and give sources, but what's here seems plausible.  Smerdis of Tlön 16:14, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep. Bad-faith nomination by multiply-blocked sockpuppet.  Article could use improved sourcing, but is perfectly encyclopedic. Lulu of the Lotus-Eaters 19:40, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep per above. I should also note that when searching for "Green Corn Ceremony", you only get 444 unique hits. Roy  boy cr ash  fan  [[Image:Flag of Texas.svg|30px]] 22:31, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep - AfD proposer is the only delete vote, and he's both rescinded his delete vote and been blocked. Jeff was probably trying to bring WP into disrepute by deleting more or less reasonable (though certainly not flawless) articles--Aim Here 09:48, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
