Rokwai

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Article is supposedly about a "force" from Hawaiian mythology. The original author changed this to "unknown mythology", which is essentially useless. It currently has a footnote stating "more possibly related to Māori"; however, it clearly cannot possibly be from any Polynesian language since none can have a "kw" letter combination. No references are cited, despite the claim that it is "Definitely an existing island myth". A Google search turned up no mythology-related hits on either "Rokwai" or the alternative "Rogwai". This has the appearance of either a hoax (by or on the author, I don't know), or something heard third-hand that is not real as it stands in the article (wrong name, wrong region etc.).

 * Delete As hoax. Most of the hits I'm seeing are related to Japanese. Didn't see anything on Hawaii or Hawaiian mythology. --Odie5533 (talk) 11:59, 21 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - "I think this thing exists somewhere, can someone confirm?" is not helpful even as a stub. I can't find any evidence of its existence.  The author is welcome to recreate when they know what their article is about and have a source. - DustFormsWords (talk) 00:41, 22 October 2009 (UTC)
