The article is completely unsourced, and I was unable to find any English-language source on the subject. It may deserve a sentence in Sami mythology or Sami culture or smth similar, but if it remains unsourced it doesn't need a separate article. Artem.G (talk) 19:44, 4 December 2022 (UTC)

 * Merge Did you include the Google books hits into your WP:BEFORE search? As also shown by, there are English sources which have a short description/definition. On a very short glance I did not see longer treatments, so a merge to Sámi shamanism Horagalles seems best to me based on that. If more in-depth sources are found, I'd be happy to revise my !vote.

 * I've checked google scholar, and there is no article that talks about the god. I don't think it should be deleted entirely, but merged to another article, as I wrote above. Artem.G (talk) 12:29, 5 December 2022 (UTC)
 * And I saw entries about Pajonn in encyclopedias through google books, but it's merely a mention, just one sentence each in "A Dictionary of Gods and Goddesses, Devils and Demons" and in "The Routledge Dictionary of Gods and Goddesses, Devils and Demons", which seems like different editions of the same book.

 * Merge to Horagalles, where the Sami gods of thunder are discussed. The Sami people speak multiple languages, and so there are multiple names for their god of thunder. Merging to Sámi shamanism is not wrong, but I think it is better to merge Pajonn to the more specific article on the ensemble of Sami thunder gods. -- 18:03, 5 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Sounds good to me. This source also states that Pajon is an alias of Doragass, which in turn is a distorted version of Horagallas. That sources also has a bit more to say than the one-sentence-definition of most of the deity encyclopedias. Daranios (talk) 12:29, 6 December 2022 (UTC)
 * That source is unavailable for me, but I think you are right. One more solution is to merge it to the Horagalles, but also add Pajonn to the list of gods. Artem.G (talk) 12:53, 6 December 2022 (UTC)
