 * comment This is some notion of Marija Gimbutas (see ), but I don't know offhand whether it has any traction, and I don't know how Poland has anything to do with this, since we're talking neolithic era speculations. Mangoe (talk) 13:17, 27 October 2014 (UTC)


 * Redirect to Marija Gimbutas as a plausible search term. The article states clearly that this is a modern neologism that originated with Gimbutas, but I guess the question is whether or not it is notable enough for a stand-alone article. I don't think so. A very brief reference to it is cited by Thorkild Jacobsen in a book edited by Richard S. Hess and David Toshio Tsumura and other academic sources (e.g. Miriam Robbins Dexter, Vassos Karageorghis, Anthropological Quarterly, proceedings of a Thracology conference ). There appears to be reference to it in The Journal of Prehistoric Religion, which appears to be an academic source(see ) but I can't say for sure. Incidentally, there is a reference to this in Pensive Christ. Hamangia culture does not currently mention it, but it appears to be connected.

 * Redirect this should have been nipped in the bud five years ago. Chris Troutman  ( talk ) 19:46, 27 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Redirect per above. And though it's not reason to delete in itself, that this doesn't have an article on plwiki does suggest this isn't just a linguistic issue on enwiki. --&mdash;  Rhododendrites talk  \\ 20:39, 27 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete - There doesn't seem to be significant coverage in reliable sources. I question the value of a redir, but don't object if that is the consensus. - - MrBill3 (talk) 02:48, 1 November 2014 (UTC)
