[edit] Sinbad the Magean
Saw this up for speedy and thought I'd list it here just to be sly. It's at least prima facie valid, but 0 google hits for Sinbad + Magean. I refrain from voting at this time. Postdlf 03:15, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Would guess it's Sunpadh, and that Magean is an alternate spelling for Magus. I'm not sure either magian or magean are correct words. Someone familiar with Zoroastrianism might know. In any case should probably redirect to Sunpadh. DialUp 05:31, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Comment: Sundpadh appears to be a notable figure from Persian history and, per the author of this article, the term Sinbad the Magean is from Arthur Goldschmidt Jr's A Concise History of the Middle East—a 500 page texbook that has been through at least 7 editions by 2001 and appears to be a popular introductory book for Middle Eastern studies [1].

- Delete, not notable. Megan1967 05:52, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Merge and redirect with Sunpadh, on DialUp's recommendation. Postdlf 18:26, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)
