List of Enochian angels

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This lists the names (and only the names) of about 300 Enochian angels and demons. It's an old venerable article, created in 2004, and has survived two deletion discussions: in 2005 (with "keep") and in 2006 (with "no consensus"). I'm not familiar with the topic matter, but I'm not seeing any sources discussing all these named beings other than very brief mentions in books like The Complete Enochian Dictionary or the Enochian Angels Handbook. While the topic of Enochian magic is undoubtedly notable, it's not at all clear why this list of names would have encyclopedic significance beyond their use by DIY practitioners of magic. There's also a non-trivial maintenance burden incurred in keeping the list – there are sourcing issues, so it will probably need to be compiled from scratch, and it has incoming redirects for about 180 of the demons, which will need to be examined for other meanings and retargeted or disambiguated as necessary. – Uanfala (talk) 13:25, 13 May 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 15:36, 14 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete, nom makes the case well. This is basically an excerpt from Dee; not our niche. -- Elmidae (talk · contribs) 20:15, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Adding for the reord that I've checked the incoming redirects and none have any article content in their histories (other than a duplicate list at List of Enochian Angels). – Uanfala (talk) 12:52, 20 May 2020 (UTC)
