The result was keep. There is well-argued support for a redirect to Tuun K'ab' Hix, and this outcome is still possible, whether as a result of bold editing or talk-page discussion. What this AfD has concluded is that Ix Ek' Naah should not become a redlink. NAC, and would our admins please note that per WP:RELIST, a triple-relist is only appropriate in exceptional circumstances.— S Marshall T/C 12:42, 15 July 2012 (UTC)'''

Ix Ek' Naah

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

I could find nothing else on Google except for many other unreliable sources that just copy text from its Wikipedia page. I can find no way to verify the given "Chronicle of the Maya Kings and Queens" source. Bonkers The Clown (talk) 07:13, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
 * I've verified Chronicle of the Maya Kings and Queens. A small box on page 104 of my copy has the wife of king Tuun K'ab' Hix as Lady Ek' Naah, but that is all. Simon Burchell (talk) 15:39, 7 July 2012 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Tuun K'ab' Hix, unless further verifiable information is added during this AfD - all the information currently in the article is already in the redirect target. The one reference given in the article was identifiable with only a little trouble - while I have not been able to consult it myself, it is by two recognised experts in Mayan history and should therefore be fully reliable (I've improved the citation to make it easier for others to chase up, though there are apparently two editions of the work and I could not identify which edition had been used).

 Though content is verifiable and she is indeed a Mayan queen, everything in the Ix Ek' Naah page can be found in the Tuun K'ab' Hix page. --Bonkers The Clown (talk) 08:28, 6 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep Queens pass the first point of WP:POLITICIAN, as long as we can verify (as we've done here) that they existed and really were queens. Nyttend (talk) 03:58, 2 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep/merge to her hubbie article.♦ Dr. Blofeld  17:57, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Hello! I am Mihaela from Croatia. I have a great interest in Mayan history and culture. I wrote article about this queen. Please, can I make it better by finding more sources?--Miha (talk) 11:05, 3 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Comment There are a lot of short stubs about Maya rulers and I am far from sure that there is enough material available to enlarge these articles. Practically everything we know about individual rulers comes from hieroglphic texts written by the Maya themselves, and some of these texts are extremely brief mentions upon the monuments of other rulers.
