Lion mask

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Long-time unreferenced article. I am not sure if there is an overall concept/topic of 'lion mask' or sources to show its notability. Boleyn (talk) 16:15, 12 April 2024 (UTC)

 * Keep. This does seem to be a recognized motif in art. That was just from the first few hits for "lion mask" + "motif" on Google books, there are quite a few more. I wouldn't oppose it being merged into something but there does seem to be discussion and analysis of lion mask motifs. Admittedly there isn't a lot of useful content here, but something can be said about the topic. PARAKANYAA (talk) 19:40, 12 April 2024 (UTC)

 * Keep, this is a nice base article to work from. A stub, but an encyclopedic stub. Randy Kryn (talk) 04:22, 13 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Comment: if we're going to keep it, could we at least find some sources to cite? This article has gone entirely unreferenced since its creation almost twenty years ago.  Any decent sources would at least demonstrate that it's a distinct topic worthy of inclusion somewhere in Wikipedia.  This AfD would seem to provide a good opportunity to locate some.

 * Merge and section redirect to Cultural depictions of lions. Noteworthy, possibly notable, but better off as a section of a larger relevant article. BD2412  T 01:48, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Comment I have no issue with the suggestion to merge. PARAKANYAA (talk) 02:14, 27 April 2024 (UTC)

Relisting comment: Final relist. Please review the new sources added to the article recently. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read! Talk! 04:48, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep. The lion mask seems to be a notable concept in art/history as per sources cited above. Cortador (talk) 07:41, 27 April 2024 (UTC)
 * @Cortador ... did you mean keep? Voting delete and then saying right after you think it's notable confuses me. PARAKANYAA (talk) 05:23, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
 * My bad. That was supposed to be a keep. Cortador (talk) 06:48, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep. I've found some additional sources, and incorporated them.  There's still room for expansion, but I think the article clearly meets the criteria for keeping.  P Aculeius (talk) 14:39, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep seems to be notable, and the article seems to have been improved a bunch Me Da Wikipedian (talk) 21:33, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
