Non-notable creature from a book. Fusion Mix  14:55, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Actually, it's a mythological creature referenced in an Encyclopedia of mythological creatures. Dloh  cierekim  15:45, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
 * PS. Attests from here, here, and here. Other Google book hits were not visited. Dloh  cierekim  16:08, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment. I see...hmm. I still don't think that it needs an article all to itself, perhaps there is a 'list of mythological creatures' article it could be merged into? Fusion  Mix  16:16, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Possibly you're thinking of List of monsters? —Quasirandom (talk) 19:39, 13 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep Legendary creature covered in secondary sources -- that latter's pretty much the definition of notability. Or if you insist, of notability for fictional things. —Quasirandom (talk) 19:39, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
 * My rule of thumb is that if it's notable enough for a paper encyclopedia (which has size constraints), then it is notable enough for an unlimited electronic encyclopedia. Cheers,  Dloh  cierekim  19:58, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I pretty agree with that rule of thumb. —Quasirandom (talk) 17:32, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
