Mnimi

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

This page is about a fictional character and fails to recognise such, is grossly mis-categorised, and is about a character who fails the search engine test for existence. Moreover, it fails, in my mind, to demonstrate notability as an element of fiction according to these rules. Proginoskes (talk) 18:51, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. After searching Mnimi on google myself, none of the hits had anything to do with this goddess. They were about matters which had nothing to do with divinity or mythology. After reading the article, one feels as though it's just a load of bullet-points joined up for the sake of creating a topic. With no notable references or pictures, I find it hard to take a different stance on this.  A Prodigy   ~In Pursuit of Perfection ~ 19:08, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Seems hoaxy, no sources of any type. Mm40 (talk | contribs) 20:10, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Atlantean deities??? If not a hoax, it is a complete goof. ~ Ningauble (talk) 22:01, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete It appears to be a fictional Greek goddess from books by Sherrilyn Kenyon. I'm not seeing anything else.  Might be notable as a fictional goddess (minor character list or something) but I can't source it very well. Hobit (talk) 23:55, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. In form, the name Mnimi represents the Modern Greek pronunciation of the word for memory, corresponding to Classical Greek μνήμη. We have an article for a goddess Mneme, but neither in that article nor in any ancient sources available to me does she have the characteristics or parentage attributed to her in this article. As Hobit says above, this particular "goddess" appears to be a creation of modern fiction. Deor (talk) 00:20, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete patently false. The Greek goddess of memory is Mnemosyne. JuJube (talk) 05:13, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment: See here. According to this source, Mnemosyne is indeed the Greek goddess of memory, but Mnimi is the Greek goddess of latent memory.  See also page 266 of this.  -- Happy editing!  Sincerely,  Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles  Tally-ho! 22:39, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for pointing out how much of the article consituted a copyright violation. I've removed the offending material. Other than that, all you've done is reinforce the points made above—that the first three words of the article ("In Greek mythology") are false and that this "goddess" exists only in the fictional works of Ms. Kenyon. As mnimi is a perfectly common word in modern Greek, I'm afraid that your second source, showing that a Greek theater company chose to use it as their name, is wholly irrelevant.

 * Delete - I can't find any mention in Robert Graves, so suggests it is a neo-theologism. Cheers, Casliber (talk · contribs) 23:11, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
