Krithiida

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Disputing verifiability. I find no reliable sources to this effect, and none at all online before 2012. I have not looked at the cited 1969 dictionary of Greek mythology, but if the tradition were well-known, it would be more commonly cited. power~enwiki ( π, ν ) 04:59, 21 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete Even if this was verifiable, There wouldn't be enough information available for an article. 💸Money💸emoji💸 💴 13:18, 21 May 2018 (UTC)

 * Comment, they probably mean the greek wp article here that has more information but unfortunately it too only cites the 1969 book on greek mythology. Coolabahapple (talk) 08:15, 22 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment, numerous books list her ie. The Iliad, a Commentary, Volume 1, page2, Homer the Preclassic page258, Odyssey, Encyclopedia of Fairies in World Folklore and Mythology, page206, Hermead Volume 3, Volume 3, page41. Coolabahapple (talk) 08:42, 22 May 2018 (UTC)


 * Comment: Might be more appropriately merged into Ancient_accounts_of_Homer, with redirect from both spellings of this name. Pam  D  09:22, 22 May 2018 (UTC)


 * Keep: The article is badly mistitled, and not very helpful when it comes to sources, but with a little research I was able to locate the subject under "Kritheis" in Pauly-Wissowa. I haven't had a chance to search for alternate orthographies that might be used in English-language sources, but I'm fairly certain that the author of this article was guessing as to the correct one and chose to transliterate an unrecognizable, inflected version.  There are several different traditions about her and the birth of Homer, which are too extensive to justify merging this topic with Homer.  You can't tell that from the article right now, but I'm going to look for one or two of the sources mentioned in PW (it's a bit labor-intensive, as I don't speak German and have to translate the article to understand it).  At any rate, this looks like a case of "move to correct title and add some detail and reliable sources".  Once I figure out what the best title would be, of course.  It might be "Kritheis", but I want to make sure there's not a more familiar Latin version first.  P Aculeius (talk) 14:26, 23 May 2018 (UTC)


 * Keep on the basis of P Aculeius' post above. Move to appropriate title and provide redirects from all plausible alternatives. Such as Kretheis and Cretheis and | Kritheis and Krethis! Pam  D  14:35, 23 May 2018 (UTC)


 * Going with "Critheïs" as the primary spelling, with two alternative transliterations from the main Greek spellings. Should I move it, or wait for this discussion to finish?  P Aculeius (talk) 17:15, 23 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Best not to move while AfD is in progress. But then (hoping it gets kept!) we can provide redirects from absolutely every spelling we've found anywhere for it. Pam  D  17:52, 23 May 2018 (UTC)


 * Comment there's one other delete vote, I'm happy to withdraw in favor of a rename if is OK with that option.  There's enough sourcing for other spellings (without a "d") that a redirect to a section of Homer is needed at a minimum, and I don't see any good reason not to have a separate article.  Cretheis (which redirects to a type of moth currently) looks like the most common spelling. power~enwiki ( π,  ν ) 18:37, 23 May 2018 (UTC)
