[edit] Abulaye

• Well, other than this article's being absurdly written, it's about a little-known 'fictional saint' invented by two nn artists with little more than 30 mentions on Google (and not many of these mentions are anything but fleeting.) I would say delete. Iinag 16:03 20 December 2005 (UTC)
• La idea me parece buena. El articulo necesita algo de edicion. Parece algo que va ha ir progresando.
  • It needs more than editing, 209.178.213.118. It needs references. For starters, it needs a reference that gives the correct name of the artists. Was the first artist Eduardo Garaico or Carlos Garicoa? Without references, readers cannot even verify that basic fact from the very first sentence of the article.

    • Exactly, Uncle G: but what I ask to you all is... do the artists themselves even merit their own Wikipedia page? If not, then it is rather crazy to give a page to a single character from a work of theirs. I mean, only a few big writers get pages for all of their inventions: so, giving the same liberty to relative unknowns is really frivolous. We can barely justify the artists' notability... can we justify the inclusion of subsections of their work? I think that, unless these guys have some reknown, which doesn't seem so, the answer has to be no, or we're making a strange precedent. Iinag 17:58, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

  • When did Cuba move to Africa? ☺ Uncle G 21:33, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

Mostly the other way round, actually; African slaves were taken to Cuba, which is presumably why the subject has a Yoruba name and the article includes a Yoruba prayer. Humansdorpie 22:07, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
