Phialo

 * – ( View AfD View log )

The creator of this page has already created three articles that were nominated for deletion because of lack of notability. Both ended up being redirects. This page has no obvious place to redirect to so I say it should be deleted for non-notability. Spidey 104  15:28, 18 December 2010 (UTC)
 * What about merge and redirect to Heracles? Pburka (talk) 17:23, 18 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep - No case for deletion made, or redirection - whimsical destructiveness. If I come to Wikipedia why shouldn't I look for and hope to find an article that would give me information specifically about Phialo? Why should I need to be sent off to Heracles instead?  What sort of shop-keeping is this?  It's certainly a good way of killing contributors' interest. Opbeith (talk) 18:36, 18 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. I don't see any cogent case for deletion here. A mythological figure that's been known since the Classical era is clearly notable, even if minor. Zetawoof (&zeta;) 21:42, 18 December 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep. There's stuff that doesn't belong in encyclopedias, like this week's new Internet startup company; and there's stuff that definitely does belong in encyclopedias, like  obscure characters from Greek mythology.  This character not only meets the GNG, being the subject of substantial coverage in multiple sources (aside: Robert Graves's personal interpretations in The Greek Myths are very much colored by his personal BDSM mythology, but he was fluent in Latin and Greek and his facts are usually impeccable) but also appears in historical novels from 1912.  Stephen Gosson should be mentioned in there somewhere.  I don't really see the nominator's grounds as cause for deletion. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 01:47, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
