 * Keep or Merge to Entemena. This vase of Entemena (English) or Enmetena (French) is quite famous and a prize in the collection of the Louvre.  24.151.116.12 (talk) 21:12, 2 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep or Merge was pleasantly surprised to find a number of sources on this vase very quickly:    I also don't know what this is but it may be a related academic article on the vase  SportingFlyer  talk  22:49, 2 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep. It has received a ridiculous amount of attention in many, many books and articles. Big WP:BEFORE failure. Clarityfiend (talk) 00:40, 3 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep. The vase is notable in its own right. A quick Google scholar search shows that papers haven been written about this object since at least 1895. Multiple books and papers touch on this object. "[from Mesopotamia] The most well-known silver objects are the Lyre of Ur and the silver vase of Entemena of Lagash from Tello (ca. 2450 bc).

 * Keep. Notability is easily established with a GScholar search. Thanks to the IP editor for adding references. –&#8239;Joe (talk) 15:44, 3 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep -- The article certainly needs more citations and more detail, but that is no ground for deletion. Peterkingiron (talk) 22:04, 3 March 2018 (UTC)
